If it is mainly for track, you do want something that is "laggy" because in reality on a track it won't be laggy as you'll be between 4000-6000rpm all day long. We have a 200sx that is only for a track, nothing happens till 4k but then it goes quite mental which is ideal on a track, less ideal on a slippery road that you might use everyday.

Holset hx40 is where it is at. 50 if you are really keen :cool:

Shouldn't really make any difference how big the engine is, 400bhp on a petrol engine requires X amount of air/ unit time and therefore Y amount of fuel/unit time, regardless of the number of cylinders or engine capacity.

Remember power is just a rate at which work is being done.

i dunno why i said its mainly gonna be used for track! it will regularly go on the track but it will be on the road equaly as much.
If the boost is at a good level by 3k revs i ll be happy
