    Have mailed a couple on there, see what they can suggest!

    anyone know what the mounting side of a G60 TB looks like?

    is it two joined circles like a G40 one? with 2 butterflys? or one big hole?

    The best CR for most people with a modern setup (modern fuel, recent turbo's, etc) is 9:1
    This allows you to have a better spoolup, better downlow torque in low rpm's (offboost), better performance at lower boost levels (in other words, no need to run crazy boost levels, when it comes to boost, higher is not always better).
