Stock 3000 GT VR4 (assuming my quick search got good information)
-1700 RPM just starts to make some boost (stock VR4)
-2200 RPM reaches peak boost on stock VR4
-3 liter motor with twin turbos making 320 hp = 1.5 liter 160 hp each
-About 9 to 12 PSI boost, not sure but I think after 94 they ran about 12 PSI.
As far as the smart goes
-1 liter motor = less exhaust pulse energy so higher RPM to build up boost.
(multiply RPM by 1.5 assuming our engine is 1/3 smaller than 1.5 liters and generates less exhaust pulse energy)
-1700 RPM x 1.5= at least 2550 RPM to start building some boost.
-2200 RPM x 1.5= at least 3300 RPM to reach same boost as stock 3000 GT.

I think this turbo will be a bit slow to spool up but should be very efficient above 4000 RPM
Good luck with the build, will be watching.

its going to spool up a lot faster than the gt 20 they are using way to big for the car
and im only running 7lbs until the water to air intercooler gets here. Also it will be instant boost from the line nitrous will spool the turbo

New pic cat to turbo was done today. Down pipe and wastegate are getting done tomorrow along with the turbo to throttle body pipe and bov.

Here is a pic of the wideband gauge by aem guess where this is going ;)
Here is a pic of the external wastgate much easier to adjust
Here is a pic of the bov as well

Looking good buddy. You'll have to take a day and do a durability run up here once it is done.
