Upgraded Turbos

[HeadyChicken4]

I’ve been researching the effects of upgrading the turbos on my 2011 Ford Taurus SHO and I was wondering if the bigger turbos would take longer to spool up? And if so could I have them tuned to spool up faster?

They spol as fast as stock but pull a lot harder 3k and up and all the way to 6k. The stock turbos fall off the closet to 6k

I've got the ATP turbos and the lag is very noticeable. I was never able to get quicker than a 1.95 60' (which is bad) but they pulled like a freight train once in their butter zone.

I've recently switched to the GH Gen3R which are only slightly smaller with a billet compressor wheel (as opposed to the non-billet ATPs) so it SHOULD help with spool, but we'll see...

The standard Gen3 GH are great though and pull very hard.

Mine are just the gen 3.

C'mon guys... stock turbos take literally less than one second to spool from idle. You've got 9 seconds (if needed) from the time you pre-stage to the time the green light flashes. Every bolt-on upgrade past or present uses the same abysmally small turbine housings with an aspect ratio of, I dunno, 0.0001? How "noticeable" can the ATP lag be? @bpd1151 did 1.70 60's with his ATPs, turned down, and probably heavier than stock.
Doesn't matter since the only choice now is GH. They take the torque curve in the wrong direction and choke the engine worse than David Carradine, but are the perfect choice if you plan on doing low speed tractor pulls with your car or just are a ****** and want to needlessly break conrods.

@Ecoboost_xsport you planning on selling those ATPs?

Edit: seriously?! I'm not allowed to say s.a.d.i.s.t.? This site is f*cked

^ Seriously though, who is in charge of this forum? The word police are n.a.z.i. level.

So you would rather do atp rather than hear hear or other way around?

You will have a difficult time finding ATP's. Much less ones without cracked exhaust housings, if you can even find them.
