What setup did you have player?

I have a worked motor with a 35r and it is NO way as laggy as your setup. Boost by 4200-4800

Oh ok, sounds about right because 3400 - 3600 is higher than 4200 yeah? You are DREAMING if you think your turbo spools faster than anything. A Garret 3076 is much smaller than the 35r and makes full boost close to 3800. 4800rpm.... By the time you hit boost its almost time to get out of gear.

I'd like to add a point here. When you are giving the car a bootfull you are taking it to redline yes? So it is irrelevant if a big turbo comes on boost later. As long as you have enough revs up your sleeve so that the next gear change will make boost it doesn't matter how small your powerband is. A smaller turbo means that you get boost earlier once. After either turbo is spooled and the revs are up they stay pretty well the same.

A smaller, more efficiently designed turbo on a small motor like an RB will be better than a larger turbo. The smaller turbo will be much, MUCH more suitable as a street, track and drift car. That lag between boost can be the difference in many things. No point having a big turbo making 320rwkw with big lag while a smaller turbo can make the same power with much less lag. That is the point I'm getting at. The OP has a stock block so you will be really pushing the motor with a 35r when something smaller can create big power with less boost.

Believe me, even with full boost by 3600rpm, in 2nd gear if I am down in the rev range it feels like forever waiting for boost to come on and its sometimes embarrassing as you can hear the car wanting to come on but nothing happens. How shit would this be having to wait nearly 1000rpm more.

Probably as shit as it would be when you are both rolling and you both have the right gear selected and the bigger turbo just leaves you for dead for all the extra power it provides. Having a big turbo is not a bad thing. You just have to learn to drive around it. I have owned and rode 2 stroke bikes for over 20 years. You have to have the right gear or you got nothing. But then when its on band no 4 stroke can get near it. You don't chose a 35r to get the same power level as a 30r. How many people drive their car on boost all the time? I hardly ever do. It uses too much fuel. I either grandma drive or I flog the guts out of it.

Smaller turbo's need more boost.

That's up to individual personal taste.

    • Oh and I lost my headlight washer jet cover!
    • Ok, so I got myself some X1 wheels really cheap to try out, they're a bit different and I like them but they're really narrow (18x8) they are available in staggered 18x8/9 also but really hard to find.  I kinda dig them, but not as much as the F10 19's I usually run, so these go into the wheel pile.   As I mentioned in another thread, I got a new exhaust. It's an off-the-shelf stainless one that fits OH-KAY. I don't love the tips size and how far they come out the back, I think I might cut the tips off and replace with some smaller (~3") ones that don't extend as far. It sounds really good though, I'm not sure if its just in my head but the car feels a little quicker, more responsive.    I fitted an eBay special front lip. Surprisingly it fit perfectly and all holes lined up. Its a little rickety but I haven't put any double sided tape on yet, I want to clean the front bar up where it has scraped the road a lot and fil in the number plate holes (or, get body coloured wrap to cover them - is this a thing?  I'm not sure if I'll leave it gloss or pain it matte. I really like it though, I don't particularly like the front bar without it, I don't really like the M-Sport and to get anything else is just too expensive. That said, I might need a new one now anyway as I dropped the car onto the jack after forgetting to put ramps under the front wheels. It bent a lot and while it did go back to normal after I got the car off the jack, I do fear I have not done it any favours.   Lastly, my headlights died. Different problems in each. They have gotten much dimmer over the past year or so, I put new (uber expensive) OSRAM bulbs in them but to no avail. One of them pointed at the ground and the other just kinda did its own thing with light working sometimes. Yeah, check this 18 year old BMW headlight wire. I reckon I know why they were stuffed.       BTW, the yellow and black is the power to the Xenons. Yikes. I hunted around an researched my options here. I would have loved to just get a replacement harness but not a thing. My car has adaptive headlights, that is they rotate left and right with the steering wheel. Good condition used adaptive xenons were over $700 each, non adaptive were around $400 each, but I couldn't help but think that they're all around 18 years old now, surely they'd have the same problems. So I looked at newer LCI headlights but they were even more expensive and I couldn't confirm that they'd be plug and play with lots of people having lots of opinions so not worth the risk.  I ended up getting brand new Chinese headlights from MARS. They're very close to OEM with only the angel eyes being a bit different. I didnt want crazy turn signals or sharp DRL's or anything. Not my bag.  They're not adaptive, I thought thats a feature I wouldn't really miss. So I coded that out.  The lights are awesome, they look so nice and they take so many years off the car. The angel eyes look great and the headlight brightness is ridiculous. I was so used to the old ones, I didn't realise just how bad they were. The new ones use the OEM bulbs, Xenon ballast and leveller motor which I was happier with. The only issue with them is that the rear cover is held on by SEVEN screws. This will be a nightmare to get to and open when I need to change bulbs.  
    • Now that you mention it I can see those too. More subtle. The lighting and low resolution makes it hard to assess super well what's going on but what is visible is bad enough to pull the motor.
    • I feel like this is due an update
    • Yeah, I wasn't giving two f**ks for the ring running around the bore. I was looking at the vertical scratches running up and down across the hatch marks.
