Current vehicle and setup
1991 940 B230ft automatic, had previously swapped to a 15g turbo. I took it apart, rebuilt it and send it out to get balanced. Came back and the car ran strong with the 15g. have 3in exhaust, 3in maf with 42lb injectors, chipped, cammed. The nut backed off the turbo and it flew apart. So i swapped in a 50 trim turbo and the car is really really strong top end but i can't stand the mid end loss especially since i daily drive the car in traffic and it makes it miserable. Its almost as bad as driving a na B230 wagon.
Anyways i was thinking about ordering the Kinguawa 19T upgrade and drop it in my turbine housing. I loved the way the 15G spooled and kicked the car in the butt and it just took off hard. PLus with the 50 trim my transmission doesn't like that power in the top end especially when it tries to hold 4th when im not paying attention and kick it out of OD i can feel it slip. The trans is modded, with a big cooler. Car has a NPR intercooler in it also. Is the 19T upgrade worth it? Its a bit of work going back to a stock exhaust manifold (i had mine milled) but i'm also afraid the 19T will come into boost too late? I know it spools a little later than the 15G. Any real world experiences before i waste more money
