I am sure someone can answer this question pretty fast i have searched and cannot find it! Simply on a stock 7mgte when will the ct26 start to spool and when will it hit full boost. I have intake and a catback Start spool at 3.5-4k in first gear it seems a bit late so i want to compare. Rest of the gears will spool right before 3k rpms thanks! Any thoughts on spool time for an MBC at 10 psi?

the turbo would need a load to build boost which is why you dont build boost at neutral or alot (if any) in first gear

A CT26 should be fully lit by 3000rpm as peak torque arrives at 3200rpm. When it spools is fairly gear dependant I can build boost below 2000rpm in 4th and 5th gears.

Ct-26 has a very fast spool. If you're having issues and you're not making peak before 3200 you may want to check for a leak or other issues. My '91 Auto has been the fastest Supra ( stock ) I have owned. I would spool fast.

Are you wondering where peak spool is at? Or do you have an issue?
