What you are attemtping to describe is Average Power, if you do an Average Power comparison  between the 2 turbo configurations it will answer your question.:)

Im talking about traction v's low down power as in the described text

I somewhat disagree, No matter what housing you get your still going to get wheelspin.

Say we have 2 turbos, one producing midrange and the other top end.  Ok, both are going to produce wheelspin in first gear regardless.  Now, second gear, one produces maximum power earlier than the other, say 500rpm??  So one spins or 7/8 kmh before the other, lets say 10kmh it is then, so one spins at 60kmh and the other at 70kmh, one has more power than the other so in my theory they would spin about the same.  And the wheelspin you get at those speeds does not really slow you down.  Now 3rd gear, if you can get wheelspin you have a mighty strong motor, so i would say the midrange turbo would jump the top end turbo initially and then the top end turbo coming over the top.

i totally disagree based on my own car.

the .82 rear housing. If im smooth through first-second it will not wheelspin one bit.

And yes it was my car Roy was in :D

I have no traction issues at all. Just using 245 sumitomo's which are absolute rubbish for grip. And ive still got lots of squat :D

If the turbo came on much sooner, im sure i would have problems. I used too with my old t04e which was maknig a lot less power, but boosted just a bit earlier.

And true to form, the Bush bearing turb was like a light switch.

The my turbo on the motor is much smoother and progressive so it has bearely any problems traction related

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
