how to make turbo spool sooner Options

[batcavee00]

im been wondering how to make my turbo spool faster, so i been searching a lot and all i find is junk. some say to port my exhaust inlet some say not to do it. other say so upgrade to bigger exhaust piping....... its confusing..




has anyone here actually tried doing something like that and notice any good results?


i ask this because my turbo starts spooling at 3000RPM and i reach full boost (11psi) at around 3,800 rpm. i would like to reach full boost way before that....


i got a generic t3t4 .57 trim and i believe the exhaust side is .63 on my 94 gt, internal waste-gate w/ manual boost controller, 2 1/2" exhaust piping


all help is appreciated

my older mexican friend used to drag race a lot in the early 90's with his little supercharged mustang beast. He told me that he raced against a turbo minivan once that blew most everyone out of the water. He said he caught up with the guy and asked him what he did, the guy had welded a fitting on his exhaust manifold and had a tank of compressed air with an electronic valve on top. The guy would flip a switch at idle while waiting on the track and the air burst would spool up his impeller on the turbo before he launched off the line, giving him a huge advantage. Of course the huge downside to this would be that you have to fill up the air tank probably every day. The guy's setup would last a few drag runs according to my friend.
