It's what I've wanted for so long. My only problem is it hits so fast and so hard that I have to turn down the boost duty cycle in first, second and a little bit of third gears. But I figure that's a good problem to have lol.

You do have a turbo on the "smaller" side, but that's great spool. Definitely a good problem to have
What ECU are you running? Controlling boost via ECU or external boost controller?

It is a turblown tdx61 with a 1.0 a/r, super short manifold, and short IC piping, and 4" DP.
I too find it comical all the people who want long manifolds to increase torque and spool.

Been following your build on 7club. Definitely looking forward to seeing what it'll do with the HBP
Your build was part of the inspiration for the next update
That and constantly melting coolant feed lines

I have an EFR 7670 with 1.05 divided, short runners and as short as piping possible to my VMIC, including keeping the pipe between the turbo and IC at 2" so there isn't any pressure loss there. I was going to go with a larger pipe right away but the guy that fabricated the manifold and other piping for me builds race cars and told me to keep that pipe small, and I figured he knew more than I did lol.
Aaron said he did research on different race teams to see what their spool was like and that's why he decided on long runners, but now I'm wondering if he was looking at one that was NA. I hope he's not disappointed but I think he might be.
And sorry for hijacking your thread, Mike lol.

Unfortunately he blew two motors in as many months. Not sure when you'll get to see some data on that setup.
Haha no worries, I like talking about rotaries almost as much as building them
