Cleans up nice but it's laggy as hell. I'm thinking I don't have enof fuel to get that thing spinning. And I have edge jammers that are about done for

What do you think I should run empty wallet? It's pretty smokey rite now with the 150s until the turbo lights. I was thinking 250s would be fine that's a lot of turbo? Let me no what you think thanks for the help

It will probably be smokey no matter what... The lag probably has more to do with size of the exhaust wheel than it does being under fueled. You could run a 250 if you want but those laggy spots at low rpm's will be worse and you may not be able to clear them up... Or just barely but if you go with a 7x.012 with lift they will be cleaner than say my 7x.014 due to smaller orifice, both are 250's but different companies rate them differently, just make sure you know the size of what you get

I would say 200's max. lag is exhaust housing size in most cases. with a vp a 64 is harder to daily drive.

Yeah you might look into a cam. It helped my 62 spool better and less smoke.
