Just wondering what turbo's are you running and at what boost, are these internally gated or externally gated.

Mine is GT Series and I usually run around 1.8 bar.

The new turbo is smaller than its predecessor. I'm through with all this chasing power figures thing and now want the thing to drive nicely.

what kind of characteristics do these cars have with big turbos are they laggy ?
are you dropping boost with the new turbo or just downsizing Christan ?

DOH

OK I meant what is the expected difference in boost pressure and how much will that drop power by, im curious to see if your power is by large very boost dependent.
You say you want a small turbo so it drives nicely, what is bad about its characteristics now with the large turbo
