IMO the only 2 downfalls of the C&L are weight and heat soak, otherwise I love it with my V2 set up.

Yeah, I figured that. It was kind of a rhetorical remark. It is really sad that a company came out just to sell some kits without the proper R&D and then left all those people hanging.
Sprayer, my journal bearing precision spins pretty fast with the car at an idle. I would try to get with comp or go throw someone else that is a dealer to get some help.

Warm but not full operating temp. This I'm actually not blaming on zimmer. This is a turbo issue. Jeremy's turbo was hauling ass at idle then spun for 20 sec after shutdown

I agree. Haven't been able to even reach him through phone or email.
Who are you trying to reach?

Zimmer. But I'll have to try and go through comp myself I guess.
Help me out with this one; was the turbo from Comp to begin with or did Comp pick up Zimmer's warranty work?

I suspect sprayer and I both received .96 ar housing turbo's because that was what COMP had available when we ordered. I hope COMP stands behind the product, if we have trouble.
EDIT: Sprayer, give this guy a call. Attached e-mail.
Brian,
Looking for your build and I would say the CT4 6765 will work great and hit your goals.
You have a strong motor with good displacement so it will spool very fast for you.
If you want to talk about it in depth give me a call any time.

Subject: Right turbo
Hi
I e-mailed in quite a while back, but am now at the point of purchasing from a vendor, and want your feedback. My main concern, is with spool time. I have a 4.6 3V stroked to 5.0 running 9.19 CR. The vendor kit has a CT-6765 billet/oil-less series head. My realistic HP goal is 600-650, but with the 9.19 CR I am a soft on the bottom. Would any of these units be a better choice with the billet/oil-less?
· CT4-5562 - 590 HP
· CT4-6062 - 670 HP
· CT4-6065 - 680 HP
· CT4-6262 - 710 HP
· CT4-6265 - 730 HP
· CT4-6465 - 810 HP
· CT4-6765 - 950 HP
· CT4-6767 - 975 HP

Hmm...ok...I know when I order turbo's I specify what I want as far as intake/exhaust/ar but they are the same for the GT kit...if Zimmer sold Comp turbo's and they are within the warranty period they will stand behind them provided there wasn't something causing the damage like being starved for oil, etc.

I am pretty much going nuts waiting to see how mine works out. I know at cold start, the turbo wheel does not want to spin easily....which makes sense, as the grease is thicker. Gaaaaa.
Very true; 300-500 miles is what Comp tells people to have on the turbo before taking it on the dyno/racing it to ensure the grease is broken in.
Justin is who I deal with at Comp so give him a call to see what he says.

i like .96 a/r fo built motors nothing smaller, the turbo on the vid is close to get stuck so is time to send it to repair before things go worst

I'm going to buy a smaller housing when I send it in. Beings I'm only aiming for 500ish I may go with a .70 to get the fastest spool possible.

it choke's the engine at high RPM's the smallest you can go is .81
Define high rpm's if he is on the stock valvetrain and not going to spin past 6-6200.
