no 11's??? you should be proud of those times!! 13's is good enough for most people drivin supies, but 12.0, godd damn!!
i just ordered the hpf 61mm set-up that has been floating around on the forum for a week or two. my set-up is very similar to yours, so we'll see how i end up. i have a map-ecu, and i have yet to get injectors. any advice before i hook up the kit. what fuel pump are you running, and what is your ar on the exhaust. ill know soon enough, but i got all sorts of questions for you, like when do you start createing boost, and how is the car for daily driveing. what kinda power do you make on pump gas...... anyways, i would pm you, but maybe there is another person wondering the same thing.
My turbo is the SP59GT with a .68 A/R turbine side and a .60TO4E compressor housing. The SP59 uses a slightly smaller turbine wheel than the regular SP61's, I'm still not sure what wheel it is..
If I had to do it again, I would have put a GT35DBB on there with a TO4S compressor housing. I'm not really impressed with the spool time on my setup. In 4th gear, I see 15psi at about 3600rpm in cool weather. First gear it seems like I hit full boost right before the limiter. Of coarse that could be due to my engine being low on compression on #4 cylinder and a leaking headgasket. A new 7M with higher compression and headwork is going in before the end of the summer
The only major annoyance of the HPF kit is how the turbo outlet meets up with the lower intercooler pipe. The turbo outlet comes way to close to the side of the engine bay at a bad angle. Make sure you have lots of couplers with bends to make it work.
I'm using a single Walbro with 550's. 680's will be going in with the new engine. I plan on pushing the single walbro pretty hard.
Hope that helps..

mrsupra: do you happen to have any pics of the lower intercooler piping meeting the turbo. maybe being able to see the kit before i start trying to assemble it will save me some time.
thanks in advance
