[QUOTE="Juiced46, post: 15637621, member: 11519"] Nightmare pretty much hit the nail on the head here. On a stock engine most 76s will see full boost around the 4000rpm range. My 76 with a stick in a .81 housing would be full boost @ 4k. When I swapped to a .96 housing it pushed it up to around 4300. Now you may think that is awful, but to me it is actually not. With the correct gearing it actually works really well. You can use a big blower make 700-800rwtq @ low RPMS, power comes on instant, but what also happens at that power level is traction is going to be very difficult. So having all that instant TQ that soon is not always a good thing. Its all personal preference. With a turbo coming in at 4000rpms and not a huge TQ hit in an instant, its easier to manage, especially on the street. If your turbo makes full boost at 4000rpms. You do not go wide open at 2500 RPMS. You start around 3500 rpms and it will spool "quickly" not instant like a twin screw, that is going to be damn near impossible, but it will come on pretty fast. Match that with the correct tire size and gearing, you have a VERY useable powerband. I agree with Nightmare that if you do not know if you can use longtubes with a turbo, maybe you should consider a TVS. The pros and cons have already been listed so I do not need to repeat it. Everyone wants to make 800-1000rwhp because they saw a youtube video which makes it look easy. What people fail to see is what it takes to get to that level and make it WORK CORRECTLY. That is the key. Going with cheap parts, cutting corners on a turbo build, used stuff that is hacked, etc etc. You will hate going turbo. If do it right and spend the $$ IMO it is the best thing to do! A 76/88 will not spool fast/instant, that is just insane. [/QUOTE]
