+1,,,,I've about decided to do this as well. Been contemplating it for a while anyway...Where exactly does this turbo usually kick in? It's supposed to come in like a GT30R right? What RPMs?

Hope that gets you going in the right direction...For continuing reference Tufast, I think it would be good to keep a list of these for the guys that aren't super familiar with Turbos (me).... I was looking into this stuff a lot last night, and since my interests and design goals are very similar to yours.. (though prolly less ambitious ) it would be good to know questions like:
what RPM does a GT3071 spool up? Keep in mind this will greatly depend on supporting mods(IC, exh,etc)
what is a good RPM to spool up on for a very responsive turbo? On a car with this low of a redline, 3k +/- would be nice
What is the deal with these FP green/red/white/etc? I'll let someone else tackle this question
Is a FP green better than a GT3071?
What is a Borg Warner Extended Tip turbo? Borg Warners idea to extend the ends of the compressor wheel to increase the pressure ratio, flow, efficiency, etc...
What is the difference between Dual Ball Bearing Turbo and a Ball Bearing Turbo? You may actually be referring to the same thing, some people just word it differently. Although there is a difference, its not likely in this situation
What is 50 Trim? what is Trim? See link below
What is .82 A/R? 1.06A/R?? Compressor or turbine housing? To save myself some typing, refer to this forum. They actually do a pretty good job explaining it. Turbo Size, A/R and Trim
what is difference between T4 and T5? (mounting bracket?)That is the "footprint" on the turbine housing where the turbo bolts to the manifold
Like punkrokdood said, only real world data will tell. There is no specific RPM that any turbo spools. It will depend on how much boost you are running. Technically, anything above 0 psi boost pressure is considered "spooling". In the situation regarding the 3071 and the Gen. coupe, expect to see 14-15 lbs. in the 3.5k-ish RPM range, +/- a bit in either direction depending on many variables. Once the turbo gets going, figure 8-10lbs-ish, the rest will come on fairly quick, assuming you are dealing with medium sized turbos like we are referring to.now when we say 3K rpm is when the turbo is fully(?) spooled, what about before then? the turbo is still creating boost, correct? just not "full boost"?
umm.....:groupbow::groupbow::groupbow::groupbow::groupbow::groupbow::groupbow::groupbow::groupbow::groupbow::groupbow::groupbow::groupbow::groupbow::groupbow::groupbow::groupbow::groupbow:Tufast, you may have seen this, but here is what 530hp and AWD looks like.
