Turbo for a 5-speed?

i was thinking a sb62 because i figured with a big turbo there would be lag between shifts. would this be true? or is it easier to spool a larger turbo with a stick? am looking to add a smarty and a modded pump or dual pumps soon and be able to upgrade the single turbo to twins someday. thanks for any input!

True, everytime you shift, the turbo will loose boost, so a bigger turbo will take a little more to get going again. Depending on how much fuel you want to throw at it will make a difference also. I think the Silver 62 would be great for now and you will be able to use in in a streetable twin set in the future.

Good question, I am following this one. After I get my AD150 installed, turbo is next. Who makes the sb62? I want to read more on it.

Thanx.
