Its will be a b it laggy especially if your taking alot smaller turbo off which kicks in at 2700 rpm and hits full boost by 3200. I think it will be neare 4000 rpm before your on full boost. These are only rough estimates.

No idea how this relates to my turbo, but I have an old RCM hybrid turbo on my 2.0 that is rated at a similar level i.e. up to 480 at 2.1Bar. So maybe not directly comparable, but probably not dissimilar either - starts going at around 3600 and is full on by 4k. Whilst it's undoubtedly slightly laggier than the original VF28 the power at 3600 is probably still more than the peak power of the vf28 and it goes on from there. I like it.

Yes on standard ecu but also on standard top mount too so that was severely limiting the amount of power/torque that could be got from it as it just isnt up for the job. (58mm inlet on that one) The owner will be fitting a fmic soon.
Quicker spool than the VF35 that came off the car in that particular case

at what point would you need to go from the 58mm inlet to the 76mm? would it affect spool and i`m guessing it would bolt straight up to the standard inlet pipe with the 58mm, plus thats awesome the fact it spools quicker than my vf35 and more power.

MD321T on 2l STi using 97ron.
EcuTek, Standard Top Mount and ScoobyClinic headers/uppipe
Have since changed to 100ron, Lateral Performance headers/uppie & Simtek. It now comes on boost earlier with 21psi at 3600 according to SimTek datalogging.

That was peak boost.
The particular car made around 380 but stiill had most of the std exhaust on there and the tmic so those were holding it back significantly and will be fixed by the owner once he gets bored of 380.
We ran 1.5 bar peak boost to give it decent mid range torque.
