6466 even with the 1.07 rear spools faster than a baby FG turbo.....that could do with some editing OP as its a major draw card for the 6466.

GTX3582 makes more peak than a 6235 as well but the GTX spools a tad later.

Ah well all I've heard what was mentioned above. Like I said turbos like tuners become political when comparing them. Its incredibly difficult to find direct comparisons because everyones motors/mods are different

Fuel pump needs to be upgraded long before mid 300's if you want a correctly operating fuel system

that's why I mentioned its good to change it anyway. I remember seeing your flow tests and that's why I upgraded. 350rwkw on E85 on a standard pump isn't a great idea

don't even need the braided line / filter ... as Luke told me -- bash out the OEM filter thing, and continue using a factory line -- IF you service your car well / on schedule. (probably want an engine in good condition, with no oil gunk built up inside it)

I agree too, as it is all I ever did with my FD, 32, capri, etc

Lunch a motor and you will wish a filter was fitted to the turbo.....a motor going can be out of ones hands even with all the boxes ticked....nature of the game we play.

Another issue with this practise I see is someone buying a car that wasn't serviced the best and has some build up inside.....introduce a far better oil change routine and the turbo bearing may find themselves meeting with particles of a decent micron and affect the bearings in the turbo.

The factory had the right idea they just didn't execute it the best way.
