They spool faster. go back to your road racing bullshit Even if twin T28’s wouldent completely fuck up the flow of the motor… There would be hardly any gain in having them on the car other than a cool whirl sound and a woooshh Fuck T28’s barly do anythign on 4 cylinders I agree with smokin for once… ---

> [@Celtic1982citleC"](#): > > I just bought a 62 Meteor 🙂 Sweet, its good to hear more people into meteors. The reason I am using the t3/t4 is that I’m a high school student and right now my dad has been saying I have to pay for the powered adders. Thats why I am going to be a cheap guy, but I have been doing my research. All of last year at lunch you could basically see me reading turbocharger books, calculating the right size turbo all of that. Yeah I know its not the best turbo but for just 12 psi it will do fine. I was going to use twin turbos at first but then we got down to a single since we don’t need two. I’ve already seen and read about people making 1000hp+ with the same turbo. The reason is that they are used on tractors, Hot Rod magazine covered a guy running 10s in a fox body with two of them at 400hp so thats why I got the idea. ---

Still any T3/T4 depending on the wheel etcc even on a 6 cylinder seems to max out around 500hp… So making 1000 on a single one on a v8 just seems damn near impossible… Unless more power is being added by other means… ---
