Yeah It's a road race car and I take the philosophy keeping the revs low to reduce the heat in the tranny and motor. The 16g should by far outflow the stock dying CT26 that was on there. And when I need to upgrade to a GT turbo all I need to do is order a bolt-on setup from Slowboy for $1100.00 and change it out in one day. Then I'd have a $1424.00 Ball bearing GT turbo on my MR2 with a 3" downpipe that I built myself. Of course the stock manifold becomes a restriction at some point.
On the track that I race at I felt myself punching a lot from 3rd gear at 3-3200 rpms. WIth a larger turbo I'd be downshifting through these sections and stabbing from a higher rpm, which surely would be harder to drive.
Funny thing is, I had the intercooler piping from my EVO (and an HKS SS BOV) and made it all work with a stock layout boost elbow from the 16g and the Ebay knockoff interecooler piping.
I don't think anyone here is going to beat my car around a track for $4000.00 total investment since the car was only 700.00
It's kinda Ironic, I sell my LS6 powered RX-7 to a guy in Prague and replaced it with an MR2 turbo racecar AND and EVO. haha.
Thank God for inginuity.
