I had a evo b4 this and I know that the 37 hit full boost around 6k with a 2.0L so I would think that with a 3.7 full boost should hit around 3.2-3.4.

Monday I will start calling shops here in town and see if I can get someone to build this for me. Then I will have to go somewhere to get it tuned.

Just catching back up on this thread. So your going with the STS? I'm sooooo on the fence right now but truly can't blow any more cash. Let me know if your doing it, I really hope it goes well as I too want a turbo car but can't drop 15-20k on one of the current systems

So Brazil mentioned earlier on in this post about hitting at 3500 RPM's, now he is saying 3.2-3.4... Can someone please help me here?:

I drove just across the border to Michigan and back to my hometown on Saturday. It was probably about 400 miles round trip. I had the cruise set right around 3300 RPMs... Even if the turbo that Brazil is talking about doesn't reach full boost until 3500 I would still be getting a good amount of boost at 3300 correct? And if so, when I am cruising down the highway and not even getting on it, I would be "hurting" the longevity of my engine?

Someone please correct me if I am wrong here? Thanks.

Lol, you're going to be heavily disappointed. I suggest you give STS a call on what turbo (or turbos) you should use in a REAR mount setup.

A rear mount turbo on a traditional turbo set up (in the front like your Evo) will be incredibly inefficient. And a traditional turbo(YOUR GT37!!!) on a rear mount setup will cause lag like you've never imagined. In other words, the maps are different with the traditional and remote(rear) mount setup. This is the reason (or one of them) why you hear people complain about lag with these setups. They custom build them with the wrong type of turbos. I suggest you STOP and do some more homework before you go under the knife. I should have mentioned this earlier.

So sell that turbo and purchase one of theirs since their housings are custom made for that. Call STS for pricing on their turbos. They have many different sizes for different levels of power.
