Lol, yes, but I'd hate to try to drive a car daily with that kind of boost threshold. It should be great on the highway, but in town? Oh my!

I imagine the Holset he300 is too much, but wouldn't water cooling be nice! No coking, lower intake air temps, lower EGTs, and ability to dial in more fuel accordingly.

Garrett gt1749V - variable, 150HP, volkswagen.
Garrett GT2062V - variable, 160HP, volvo
Garret GT2359V - variable, 200HP, from MB 320CDI.

So the question is which best matches? I'm guessing the smaller garrett spools up quicker, and since it can support 150HP will easily handle a stock 617. I suppose it depends on where drivability begins to deteriorate, or where the stock IP runs out of fuel. Which happens first, and when?
