Default T34 or bigger?

Atm I only use my escort for track use, so I'm thinking would it gain from a turbo change?
The mota is stock apart from being stg3 n it runs a T34 with a .48 exhaust housing that regularly runs the limiter in all gears.
If I were to go to a .64 exhaust housing would there be any real noticeable difference in punch given the car is more or less always driven in the power band? Or would I be better going to the next size up turbo whatever that may be?

.63 may be arse coming outta bends and getting it on boost tbh but i aint done a trackday yet so dont quote me on that,.48 will come in quick,maybe too quick and break traction, its swings and roundabouts id say

different intercoolers and different setups will make the boost curves different m8

some will come on early and some will come in late, mine was a hybrid so it does help bringing in in earlier

wtf, sell the cossie and get a 2.0 dohc glxi then, you can still get the arse out when you want then, without fish tailing.

It just so happens I have a 2.0 dohc glxi, that I would be willing to do you a straight swap with (it's actually twin engined atm, as it has me cossie engine sat in the boot )

Atm I have mine set on what I thought was the safe side @ 25 max n dropping back to low 20’s.
Room for improvement maybe before a larger turbo is needed then

How do I get the boost to hold @ 25 without dropping back?

as said in another post, big empty carpark is what u want, did this the day i bought my first cossie, went found a nice bit of empty space and found out how the car handles, etc and most impoertantly how to donut it and do firgure of eights

then after about an hour of fuckin about it was time for roundabouts and nice corners.

Don't take long and once you get a feel for it, you will know when and when not to floor it into a corner or even in a straight line.

bigger actuator will help, my -34 held mine at 22 psi which was peak with no tail off
