I've decided anything is better than a 14B, but I'm not gonna shell out $1700 for just a turbo, and not to mention the $$$ setup that has to go with it. I can get a turbo setup that will make me happy and meet my goals for a lot less.

I know someone with a VR4 that has HKS 272 cams reground to HKS 280. He has the internal wastegate HX35/w BEP housing and it hits full boost 19psi before 4000rpm, and that's with 280 cams. I was really impressed how that car pulled at 19psi.

Don't mean to get off topic.
They were reground way back in the early 90'S. They were a prototype from WEB cams. When HKS 272's were not even thought of for a street car and there were no HKS 280's for DSM in the US. His cams were bought off NABER back in the day. When all there was was HKS and WEB cams. So Web reground the HKS 272 to be more aggressive. To me personally they feel a step or two above HKS 280. He is the fourth owner. Cams ran 11.40 with a 16g in the early 90's. They are so aggressive there is no vacuum on them at idle, on a stock head. A true race cam. What were you running back then?
Back on tract. The HX-35 is a good look for 400-500whp goals.

Won't you be, won't you be, please won't you be, my NABER.
