that’s great info, thank you. I was looking at the PTG1000’s they seem more ideal for track use with mid/upper end power and being physically larger they should handle temps and back pressure better. Do you know what 60-130 times are like? My 12c is about 6.7-6.8 range.

*Stock cooling system
*Larger housing Premier Tuning Group PTG1000 turbos with PTG tuning
*4 mile track, Road America which loves horsepower and great brakes
*so far so happy……..
Not much faster than the PTG1000’s going into turn 1 at low to mid 170’s, think there’s a 176-178mph in there somewhere, my buddies 1,000whp Nissan GTR does low to mid 180’s, ZL1’s, GT3’s, etc get 150’s…..so big PTG1000’s do make quite the difference if looking for power.
A bit nervous about temps and back pressure on a track like that with smaller stock housing turbo variants where larger wheels get machined in, maybe on smaller slower tracks ok….or for 1 lap cars, but not sure about 20-30min session…..like the bigger housings for that.
