i could definitely tell a little 'innefficiency' or whatever this morning. In 5th gear at like 50, I tried to pass somebody, and the turbo spooled way high, but didnt feel right, like it was overworked, maybe congested...the car was jerky. I think some of it had to do with the fact I didnt downshift, but I havent ever felt the car like that... Once it was in 4th it was fine again.

I think there will be a few of us looking at the 3071 sooner than later...

Josh, you want a higher volume turbo, not just a bigger turbo. You can get more volume in the same amount of boost and get better power and a quicker spool on the turbo if you get the proper volume of air being forced in to the engine.
