My soon to be for sale used AMS 3071 kit......crazy spool up....I was still on stock internals, and yes it does hold crazy boost to redline. PM me about it.

Neither would the 3071 - claiming "crazy" spoolup on a 3071 just isn't right. IT would be nowhere near a TME. The 20g-9 is a good turbo, but it's not a choice for great spool and torque. The best choice is a TME (maybe IX TME, but I haven't seen results from one yet).

I agree, the IX Turbo, or a Ti/AL variant of the IX turbo is your best choice..
If you are willing to sacrifice a little spool, then the BR 20G-9 is the second best..
If your looking to make significantly better horsepower numbers at the cost of spool, then you should start looking at some of the larger turbos, but all of them spool a bit higher than stock. In reality its not "That Bad" but it does take getting used to, and if you need a car that has instant boost (Road racing, short track, that sort of thing) then stick with the stocker or something based on a stock turbo.

I wouldn't omit the HKS GT2835 from this pool of options either. It's a little on the expensive side, but it's a fantastic little turbo. I have one waiting to go into my EVO once I recoup some/all of my investment on the 2-DIN conversion I recently released.

Wow thanks for the replies chaps
But can you help me out with figures please?
What rpm do they reach full boost (c. 1.6 bar), and what max torque/bhp on quoted mods pls?
