a bit, but less than the trust t78s and t88s people often run, as though they strong as bastards, they not great at spooling.
BUT even they are acceptable on a RB26, drive ok as long as you rev em.
though it looks the size of the earth, it has a compressor inducer about as big as a gt4088, and an exducer about as big as a gt42 (iirc, measured it ages ago- they run big exducers to be efficient at 3bar+ unlike most turbos), so it shouldnt be too horrendous, esp as Holsets have some strange ability to spool up out of nothing.
and with a stock rev limit of 8250rpm, the engine likes to rev anyhow.
simple fact is i want the car to be fast enough to scare me above anything else, so though im sure their slightly swankier ways to do it, this is cheap as frick and i bet will perform better than MOST the conversions most mugs pay 10 times the cash for. and im poor.
im doing it to make a scary stupid mental car, not to achieve anything in particular barring entertainment, job done.
and now I can have a "Powered by SCANIA" badge on the back and not be lying, lol.
