Spool up on Alpha 3071's
SubscribeWhen should the Alpha 3071's with all the supporting mods be spooling? Why I ask is that mine are starting to spool at 4100.
Also do you think having 47.5 m headers are cause the turbo lag?
Thanks,

Thanks,
i see mine full boost at about 3200-3600. i have stock headers though and marki's 2.5 inch pipings to the turbo.

That is a huge difference!! Mine full boosts at over 4400
i also still have stock intercooler hoses and y pipe so i'm not sure if that's where the difference is

If you swap out those restricted parts shouldn't you have an even quicker spool?Originally Posted by pinoy911tt

Thanks mang but I have all the supporting mods. I'm putting smaller headers on this weekend 44.5 and see what happens to the boost responseOriginally Posted by dgreen78
It should help a lot if you run bigger ducts to the inlets of the turbo. I have some 2.5" hose if you are interested PM me. My alpha 3076s spool the same as my 24/18Gs did!

4400 seems late. have you tested for leaks?

I did a smoke test and tightened a few areas but nothing dramatic.4400 seems late. have you tested for leaks?
Agreed. The boost response was the main reason why I went with Alpha's.
Can having bigger diameter 47.5 headers cause this much of a difference?

eh maybe. bigger diameter primaries - slower velocity of air traveling through, given that the volume of air is constant. blow in a straw and then in a bigger straw with the same intensity...Originally Posted by TwnTurboJ

R911 997TT hits 800awtq (ft/lbs) at 4400rpm, ramping in the boost.Turbos we run are custom 30's.
Another thing to check for is your wastegate preload on each turbo. I found that Tial does not set these from the factory. On the dyno we found one set at a crack point of 12 psi and the other at 15 psi. My turbos spooled up a few hundred RPMs quicker when we found this out.
