I traded some 5 lugs to a garrett distributor/shop in NE TN plus 350 cash for the 2871r...before they raised the prices for the distributors. I think Ben is really happy with the turbo...and from what I saw after he put it on ...that mf'er spooled quick...even though it was the .86 it was impressive...let's just say that ***** took off out of the parking garage like a bat out of hell.
yeah the gt2871r is good ****. I am at 17.5psi by around 4000 RPM. Which is the very start of the turbos efficiency range. the .64 though will get you into the 350hp range easily. the .86 is good for 440hp.
HA! and when i pulled out of that parking garage that was on a badly slipping clutch and running rich! just wait until i swap it into my new 240!
