Have the PH76mm. Started with the PH67mm and then upgraded as car become modded more for the strip than the street. Now car is not driven on the street. Great product and service from PH.

Noticed considerable lag going from the 67mm to the 76mm during street driving. Lag is eliminated for strip use. I have noticed with Hellion, that they push their 76mm units on folk whose cars are staying mostly street-driven. the 76 should not be as responsive as a smaller turbo in the 60s. Not all turbos are created equal, so maybe their 76mm is not as potent as the PH...hence no lag issues?????

um Steve is pretty much the turbo authority around here as far I can tell. Most owners stick with SC over Turbo and with as many parts as he has broke, well Steve knows In other words you might be waiting a while before someone else posts here...Have you tried other forums?

I would go with the Powerhouse kit unless emission compliance is a necessity. I don't really like the way the Hellion runs the hot side piping and unless they have changed it recently it is a draw through system which is not as good as a blow through type like the PH. Mike at PH has done extensive testing on his tune and if you don't have the capability of getting a dyno tune from someone that knows turbos you can safely run his tune with confidence.
