Message: [QUOTE="KCTurbos, post: 1057874, member: 13852"] Be careful when leading people to believe these turbos "spool as fast as stock". The reason being is everyone goes out and buys one and then realizes that is not true. Then they think something is wrong with their truck or want to buy another brand turbo or return the one they bought When it comes to big VGT turbos... Yes they build boost fast Yes with an auto tranny and lots of fuel they spool quick off the line. Lock the truck in OD at 1400rpms and try to tell me they spool as fast as stock. Hook up a big trailer and tow at 1700rpms up a grade and tell me it spools as fast as stock I have many videos/dynos/compressor maps etc that show they do not "spool as fast as stock" in many different situations. Get above 2200 and they do spool faster than stock... but most people forget and leave that part out The reason I make it a point is because lots of people jump on the band wagon and are sold a bill of goods... then when they start to notice turbo lag (especially with an manual tranny or tq converter locked in OD), high cruising egts, or have issues towing... they think something is wrong. I get inquiries everyday from people who bought big VGT turbos from other vendors expecting low end spool up like stock turbos... they call hoping to send me their turbo so I can "fix" or "modify" those turbos. I just do my best to properly inform people of the truth before jumping in and buying something they expect to spool as fast as stock. [/QUOTE]
