That sounds like a great idea. You should be able to run 14 psi on Pump gas no problem. The .63ar hot side should help with spool up a good amount.

I do lots of city driving since its my DD and i usuay end up being in the 2500-3500rpm area. So if i can make this setup hit 10psi at 3500 instead of 4000, that would be fantastic.

Im hoping it wont choke up in the top end with the .63 ar housing. I do have the pfab ELM mani which is great for top end tough.

Do you think ill manage to speed up the spoolt time by 500rpms?

500rpm is a lot. So I doubt it. Probably more like 200-400rpm if I were to guess.

Your situation is covered in this article about sizing for your desired application:

So it seems you're a bit too big for your intended use. I don't think swapping to the 0.63 A/R turbine housing will quite get your desired torque curve down to where you want as it's probably around 300rpm improvement. However, if you do the small 0.63 A/R turbine housing along with the smaller GTX3067R turbo (which should gain you another 200-300rpm in spoolup), then it will meet your boost and rpm target. To hit 450whp, you will be pushing the turbo to the limit. I have seen a SR20 with the GTX3067R in 0.63 A/R make 470whp on a dynojet, but that's pretty much maxed out and perhaps overspinning the turbo which will reduce its life. I think it was race gas too. One other plus of going to the 3067 is it will have faster response due to lower rotational inertia compared to the 3071.

Small update.

got rid of the ebay turbo blanket crap and installed PTP lava blanket and heat wrap.

Nice! I had a super hard time trying to latch my turbo blanket on with my top mount so I ended up just laying it on the turbo for now lol. I almost need to take the turbo off to be able to get the blanket on correctly -____-

Nyther

I had to take the valve cover and downpipe off to install this. And use LOTS of force on the blanket to pry it in position.

This is a snug as it gets lol.
