[QUOTE="KCTurbos, post: 1061230, member: 13852"] I know we all keep generalizing "singles" as if they are all the same. I am sure everyones experiences will be different. There is a huge difference between a 64mm and 75mm... I am sure they will all react different. I am sure some of the single guys have "forgotten" what it is like to run stock compounds. I only say that because I have been running around with a 71mm vgt (on a 6.0). It drives great once you "get used to it". Lights off super fast above 1800 rpms. If i ever get a weird shift and locked in OD at 1200rpms then I would make sure to unlock the tq converter before trying to pass anyone... But i recently put on a 63.5mm turbo with the stock 13mm turbine... It spools CRAZY FAST. The first time I had a weird shift and ended up in OD with tq converter locked at 1200rpms. I decided to just plow through it and the tiny turbo spooled right up with almost ZERO smoke. 5psi at 1200rpms and 10-15psi by 1500rpms... That thing was a rocket with 285/75s. Well until you hit about 2500-2900 and the turbo runs out of air. I forgot what it was like to have a "quick spooling" turbo. LOL That experience really made me miss the spool up of the smaller vgt while wishing for the all out power of the 71mm. [/QUOTE]
