How much power are you looking to get? Your needs will probably be more than taken care of by say.... a Garrett T2876R and a standalone engine computer?? Keep the stock cams to retain a smooth idle and good spoolup/mid range power... I think VVT-i will only really have a major effect to off-boost performance anyways.

I can't convince myself to tare apart the engine for anything less than a 600AWHP configuration on race fuel. The experience i've had with the T28 is that at 427whp on the dyno (front wheel drive only) that turbo was completely out of breath. It spools really well but not enough flow for my goals when the race map is loaded. I'd be happy with it everyday on the street but not for track days.
The annoying thing about me is if you gave me an F1 fighter jet I would fuss over how possible it is to make it as daily driveable as possible.
My on boost goal for VVTi is about exactly as you summed it up. On boost I would actually be happy with even less than an additional 2500 rpm added to the torque curve. I would settle for as little as 1000 rpm more torque bandwidth using VVTi. AS LONG AS i have the flexibility to load a well tuned pump gas street map with smooth low rpm idle characteristics, be able to get better off boost fuel economy, and generally better street manners in any way whatsoever then it's worth the stress. What is your opinion of the new series of borg warner extended tip fast spooling turbos. Honestly if the S259 EMS powered is working on has a favourable compressor map and specs I was honestly thinking about trying that one. Anyway as advised I should probably start a new thread since this is not the discussion Alan was attempting to spark by starting his thread.
