I think you're thinking of some other turbo honestly. The Element GT52 has a small 7cm hot side that gets it spooled up very quickly. I personally love pairing a small hot side like that with a good EWG setup as it provides you with great response as well as good flow up top.

Cool, cool. I run a VF34 right now because I'm a fan of no lag with my EJ205 and now EJ207. So with my 2.0L I have to be extra carefull not to buy a turbo with any lag. GT35r even the 30r's
Talked to Ed about a turbo for my set up and he highly recommends this. I mean 20psi at what? 3600 rpm!! I see no lag in my furtue

Yep that would be fine, but honestly the GT52 won't be a major upgrade over your 20G. Its basically a slightly larger compressor with a smaller hot side. You'll get better spool, but probably not much extra power out of it. You'll also definitely have to retain the EWG if you want to get any power gains. Maybe consider meth injection if you want some real gains?

so going with the GT52 would be similar to upgrading to the XT option?
i want to keep the spool close to what i have but gain a little more mid and top end. i going to work on getting the ewg rerouted into the DP so ill be keeping the ewg at this point.
maybe the DOM3?

. On 91 Octane I think the GT52 will make about the same power you're making now but with slightly better response.

would having the 52lb help gain topend power in a high boost level over the XT 20g? it pulls well right now.
i guess i could try the dom2 or dom 3 w/7cm2 and run the ewg. that would help spool and top end right?
