It is a bit silly but the power is always there if the clutch and trans are built to handle the hit you just adjust the tune and wham big hit around 3500. The ZFR hits hard around 4500 even with a slower boost ramp. If you crank on it it spools hard around 3500. I like the S-256 ET as a good DD turbo as well.

Exactly- sounds like a great deal, but it sure looks like there is a lot of material machined away. I am happy with my setup, even if it doesn't have quite as big a wheel on it. Might even try e47 on it before the end of summer to try and get the top hp for a k04 car. Thinking 09CobaltSS1 can get me there ( if the trans will).

Some more info:
Stock - 43.3 x 56
K04FTW - 50 x 65.9
And Matt says should pick up 30-60hp over stock turbo
He also offers a warranty but I don't know exactly what it is I think it is 6 months
Max boost 27-28psi
Matt runs 25psi I run 28psi with meth
That's some info i found from old txts

Matt is such a great guy no risk guys, he has given me the best service ever. Went way beyond what he had to do for me. I am just doing this because I'm just a really happy customer (his words today) Like I said I still talk to him months after buying and sending my core back.
In my opinion it's the best upgrade for the money only wish I knew about it sooner!!

Haha ya this thread was started last night and he already had an email this morning. I told him how many views it had and he couldn't believe it. I'm really happy that he's gonna get some more TurboBay bigwheels out there they are fun!

Ya then no core charge and Matt may want to buy yours for another to have to rebuild. The way this is turning out it wouldn't hurt for him to have a couple more lying around
