Re: Small turbos make me smile

Preach, brother!

In the modern day of internet nut-swingers, where people care more about numbers than balance, that was a refreshing read.

I've had a lot of different turbo and engine setups over the last 10 years, and I still think my favorite for a street car was 9:1 comp, E85, and 25 psi on a 14b. You would just think the word go and the nearly vertical wall of torque would leap the car 100' forward. Obviously low HP, but higher thrust ratios than most larger framed turbos -and in any gear.
