Synapse 50mm wg, 60 lbs main and preload spring with ten turns of preload would help alleviate that laggy T78.

Lucky Mofo, always wanted to do Barber, Road Atlanta and VIR. Also wish NASA would expand to the NW, way better classing for single turbo'd 3rd Gens.

I'm stockpiled on V710's, but I think they wear out waaaay to quick in the heat of summer. I've been hanging onto them for the cooler fall days.

I thought about doing some upgrades to my current turbo setup like that and was going to hit you up, but I'm thinking I may go with a new turbo set up over the winter. Haven't really made up my mind either way though. What makes me want to keep the T78 is the fact that I can pick up another T78 that is fairly new for around $700-$800 that way if something happens to the one on the car, I can switch them out in less than an hour and be back up and running while the other one is being rebuilt. It'd be nice to have the more usable powerband that a turbo like your 500r SP has though on the smaller tracks. Love Road Atlanta and VIR though with the T78. Would prob. love it more with a newer technology turbo... haha. Actually, would this be the prefered wastegate if I went with something like a 35R/500R set up?
