thx
I have personally ran both setups..not at 450whp of course but anyways. First setup i had was just stock fuel system/maf and a gt28 with fmic 3" exhaust and megan manifold..setup held up great for about a year till i blew the motor but was very very responsive and had little to no lag at all. Now im running a 60 trim t3/t4 with sti 550's and a z32 maf with ROM tune..its ALLOT different because i dont even start to spool till about 2k rpm and hit full boost at about 3,500-4k rpm..but once that boost comes on holy is it ever a big difference..the t3/t4 gives allot of power and can make an sr very fast but allot of people recommend running a little 50shot of nitrous to help the turbo spool up quicker..all in all both setups are great. I do myself prefer the top mount setup becuase im making more power with it and it looks 100x better! haha
