1.06 won't that take a while to spool? Why not .76 or .70? Just curious?

The 1.06 will spool fully around 4500 from what ive read, the powerband will be much more linear, which theoretically will roll on the power smoother, keeping the tranny from snap torque a little more. I cranked the boost on the rabbit last night, on a .63 hotside on e 2.0, the power hits like a ton of shit, and im suprised an axle didnt go. .81 is the smallest i would ever go on a VR

I am really curious how this turns out. I have talked to 2 shop owners and a VRT owner here in OR and they have some different ideas....should be interesting. good luck

Also I have heard some bad things about raceware head studs...they relax. So we should all stay away from these.

IT has begun...
So far, I have been raiding the Vortex classifieds, saving a bunch of money.
Just landed this for $400 shipped. $100+ saved.

And now this, for $140 shipped. $70+ saved.

Both are brand new.

Now which one out of the 3 would be the best? I was thinking maybe a .81 A/R or smaller, since I have a 3.94 R&P, and am not going for a lot of hp. Or is my logic flawed.
