The worst thing about GT turbo's, is thast they are mainly roller bearing core... So a Roller T34 is taking thw worst bits out of both series :S

i would bother with the artical, because it has clear flows in the test.



i'm not saying the turbo tested isn't better, just not as good as its was said to be.

i know as i had a similar turbo they tested, on a similar engine spec,

The power and torque is about correct, but not the way both turbo's are said to come in.

have a look here.

Please do.

have you done a RR power run on a DD RR on your T34?

Also
have you boost/rpm checked your T34 @ every 100 rpm, under full load in the car?
and on the same actuator, boost controll, and same full spec and same weather conditions, but just the turbo changed, do the same on the new turbo.

just read the article. It's no T34! It uses GT wheels.

Test is bobbins though, no power run as such, just loading it up as much as possible.
MK - be really nice to see how it goes on ur car.
