Message Well first you have to deal with the fact that you'll never have the low end power with this big of a turbo.

Having said that, there are a couple of different ways to combat this issue. Either way you have to very carefully choose the heads package for your application. You can raise the rev limit. And shift higher to stay in the powerband. With this aproach you'll also have to invest in the tranny(need close ratio gears). If you don't touch the tranny it will be very hard to shift at higher RPMs rendering the high rev limit basically useless.

The second aproach would be to use less aggressive head package to move the powerband to the left. I think this will be a little better for low end. The car will probably not have a high peak rwhp but much wider powerband, which is what makes the car more driveable in the real world.
