Both the md321s and md195 would be quite laggy on a 2 litre engine, the vf43 on a standard 2.5 sti has made as much as 360bhp and 390 lb/ft.

So spool-up times REALLY did improve big time with the revised 321 series then (i.e. H, T, T+ and V)?

If I get 'bored' of it, I prob WILL get the T, yes!
I'd prob have to change my WRX v.1 heads to STi v.3 ones though... then the gearbox
... then the... etc... etc...

Did your customer decide on 'maxing out' the S206 in the end?
So any subjective thoughts - and/or dyno plots - on the comparison between it and the MD321T?

Arghhhh
My fuel pump seems to have lost the will to live! So close yet so far!
I was on my way to Surrey Rolling Road to meet Simon when my fuel pump decided it doesn't want to do its job any longer. Had to wait nearly three hours for a RAC recovery truck to transport me home. Will be inspecting the pump in the morning!
Was sooo looking forward to having it mapped, will have to arrange another date with Simon once all is sorted.

Ahhh bugger! Gutted for you mate.
Thing is, believe it or not, I think the Gods were actually
smiling on you... Just think if it had failed a few mins/hours later in the middle of a power run, pulling max revs, etc...!!!
Better luck next time... and be sure to post up again when you get it mapped.

I dont think the T is that laggy on my 2l. Cruising (70-80) Plant the right foot and it goes like stink.

banny was saying the 'old' 321S (and 195) - predecessors to the H/T/T+/V - are laggy... not the T ;-)

There must be a difference in driveability/response low down, with the smaller turbo being better surely?!?

Depends on how you drive i guess, mines a fully stripped out track and drag strip car Shaun, my revs rarely drop lower then 4000rpm and when it is driven on the road i just cruise around, i know its fast and will beat most cars i come across and have nothing to prove
From what i'd seen on here i expected a big difference on the road but havnt found it so

So you dont notice any difference in spool up between the H and the T, I would have thought the H spooled up well before 4K TBH

Don't get confused between comparing boost, and comparing how the car drives.

Why would I change a perfectly good turbo that is doing what I want from it and with more to come.

He`s not asking you too change, He`s just telling you the MD321T is a little bit more updated than the one you already run

On the road it makes 1.8bar by 4000rpm, it always looks alot slower in making boost on the rollers as i was looking at the graphs
