lag sucks

^this.

I'm over the GTX3076, swapping back to the 71 again. If the whale was manual it would be a different story I suspect.

Don't go too big for a road car, you will be kicking yourself.

Area under the curve always wins.

Told ya when you were making the swap.....I would stick on a GT3076 and win even more on the whale.

Swapping from the GT3076 to the HTA3076 was the best thing i ever did!

Have you ever run the GTX3071? Fan or not they are an impressive turbo in my book.

I made great power with it, it handled all the track work I threw at it, was quite responsive, even with the 1.06 Tial rear... What more would I want from a $900 turbo that bolts straight in to my setup?

I am not a fan of Precision's ceramic bearings, after having seen a few failures on customer cars. BW refuse to make a turbo that is compact enough. Looks like I will have to stick with old faithful Garrett. I'm sure I could do much worse.

Yes I have driven the GTX3071 and they are a good turbo but I still think the GT3076 is a better thing.

Better throttle response and the power they output is pretty similar....plus the old school version is cheaper. On a heavy car like a Stagea it all helps.

Better throttle response is subjective, and more based on housing, wastegate design and tune than small differences in turbo spec imo. Strangle the rear and the transient response goes to shit from my experience and internal gates blowing open under pressure won't give you a good indication of response...

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
