Are you trying to suggest that Jeff's dyno is not a flat powerband? Looked pretty flat to me...?

There is a reason why companies sell multiple kits using various turbos. The td06/05's are not a 400whp daily driven turbo, it'll max out at around 430-450whp...it's just too small. The same can be said for a gt2860rs...each turbo has their purpose and powerband.

None of the greddy turbo kits for the mr2 are CARB legal, all of them replace the factory cast downpipe+cat assembly for a tubular downpipe without a cat.

I wouldn't go that far, the greddy kit is a POS. What you said earlier was greddy turbo, which IMO, are not crappy. They are cheap, and thus far have performed just as well, if not better than a similarly sized 3071R.

There are many reasons to change a turbo...I don't understand how this plays a part into this discussion? I love my td06, and even I have contemplated piecing my own 3071R setup just because I want something new and different...

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT
A PR. of gt28rs's (disco patatos) or 2871's WOULD MAKE EVEN BETTER.
LOL
I guess we will have to agree to disagree on every aspect talked about thus far. Personally, I think Greddy products are junky and are the bottom of the barrel as far as JDM companies go. But I think the turbos they use, MHI, are great performers, even if they are old tech.
