well, you will gain power with a 65mm TB, but it will be VERY high up in the rpms, and you will loose power down low.

Your low-end will be boggy most likely. I highly doubt its any worse than running a larger diameter piping for your exhaust. Of course, with any major power increases, its to be expected to sacrifice some low end for high end.

But be the guniea pig anyway... lmao.gif

^ LOL sometimes I dunno about you Mad John tongue.gif

Anyway, it's been the thought that you'll loose quite a bit of power in the low end, but on the highway, you'll prolly see a nice increase when you step on the gas.

In reality we really don't know for sure because nobody has done it. They've been too scared. Go with 65, honestly you will surely see an increase, it complements the rest of your setup.

When you get right down to it. Other than your basic mods I/H/E, which you sound like you've completed, all the rest give you power in different ranges. The 58mm seems to be decent top and bottom end, where the 65mm is mostly top end.

TO be honest, the 58's are easy to find, get the 65, try it out, tune it a bit, if it's not good enough, sell it to a turbo guy on the forums for what you paid for it.

Then the answer will be known to all.
