^ I never said they were under rated
Without comparative data it is a pointless debate. Either the flow of the compressor wheel is under rated, your hp numbers are over rated or perhaps a bit of both.

Do you guys have any idea if there is any 3 rd party doing a proper test on the GTX Garrets??
In SA the guys are also scepticle about the power claims and are waiting for people to test them first before jumping in
The GTX42 has been put on a GTR R33 with great results by a local tuner but that is a big *** turbo and did not take the place of a GT42 so no comparison can be drawn up. it did a 329km over 1km (road car)
Changing the housing to 0.82 is not going to break the bank and maybe i will stick with it until some cars are having great results with the GTX , or look into the FP turbo's .The FP is not very popular in SA due to not many shops/tuners pushing them.

I know a bunch of people who have switched and been happy, Ive used them on a few of my cars and they work well. Even a big turbo shop I know uses them a lot and has nothing but great things to say about them, especially on diesels.

mmmm nice 
Sounds like he way to go
Will speak to the builder about the upgrade of the turbo to GTX ,but only in a few months,
Will get the .82 housing in the meantime anyway as this will go on the GTX in the future as i can sell my AMS kit together with the GT3076 .63 housing

Wow, Ford Focus making 600+HP - Evo's are gona Love this Turbo...
I currently have a HTA3076R just waiting to see if its a worthwhile upgrade over the FP turbo, and so far its looking good...
Although on a 2L, I like the AMS T3.63 - it comes ported from AMS so I'm thinking GTX30 bolted into the AMS .63 housing...

I am building my motor on my Evo 8 ,high spec to rev to 9K.Keeping it 2ltr
I have the AMS spec kit GT3076 .63 housing that has the AMS 5 bolt Hotside .cams GSC 264in 272ex
now the builder has suggested i upgrade housing to .82 with the car reving to 9K now . but i am a bit worried about lag with the .82
am i worried about nothing?
Car is used for trackdays and hillclimbs ,NOT a daily drive
Suggestions ??
