midnightclub it doesnt have to blow to 5k for me- if it comes on boost mega sharp at say 2k and holds to 4 -4.5k id rather this with the mega torque that comes with the early spool than wait for say 2.5/3k and rev up to 5k.
Id much rather go down spec'ing my own hybrid route, or just telling the guy bulding it what i want from it. Look how reliable JP's GT25 Hybrid was, even at 200+bhp and that spooled up uber quick, felt like a stock blower lag-wise.
Depends what the OP requires but for the price of a GT20 even i be thinking, meh....
JPs GT25 hybrid was 200hp for one dyno run... Which even he has pointed out.
If you want a turbo like that just get a gt2052s or a 2056s... The whole lag problem that people have with TD04s etc is as im sure ive pointed out before is due to the large hotsides... Notice that a TD04l 13t is a 54mm compressor, a GT2056s is a 56mm and yet it spools almost as good as stock, thats due to the fact its more modern and because the hotside isnt off a petrol which has to move air at 6500rpm....
People seriously need to stop going "x has this turbo and its laggy therefore it must be useless" and only knowing its like a T25 which says nothing about the specs of the turbo...
For example, I have a GT1752s on at the moment, I can guarantee its laggier than any GT20, 22 or 25 with a small hotside... Yet you could find a GT15 off a massive low boost petrol thatll be laggier than a TD04HL!
