I'll ask Stu if he still has the datalog, i remember we mapped a saph from Holland last year on a roller T38 and it was a lovely car to drive! I'm pretty sure it came from Vince @ CR and was built into a T34 frame, very responsive and made around 450bhp when he had it dyno'd.

I'll see if we still have the log on the laptop tomorrow for you Kev, it'll show the boost pressures at individual rpm intervals in 4th gear. I do remember it being very responsive though!

Stop fannying about and just get a roller bearing T4 that you will end up going to anyway!

That's what I keep thinking.
I wanna upgrade from a t34 and although it might b more responsive on a t38 it will only b a matter of time before it won't b enough and I will have to buy a t4.
So by the time you've then bought another turbo paid for another map and the hassle of getting it done, you might as well t4 it straight away.

A roller bearing T4 won't be a lot more than a rb t38? And as said, will save getting it mapped twice when you get bored!

It's not the power that is the problem, T38's make crap torque, and makes the car feel as flat as a pancake! Most people who have had them seem to change pretty quickly.... Lack the torque of a T34 and as laggy as a T4 without the power!
