    Best gearing for boost

    07-26-2012 07:20 PM #1
    I have a gt3076r and 02j trans, I was looking at eurospec gear sets. What would be the best combo for a turbo this size for optimal acceleration? Longer gears?

    long gears, you boost will come in a bit late with that turbo, (TDI gear set might do, maybe 1.8t gear set with tdi 5th)
