<VV> Re: Early vs. Late turbos

[Eric S. Eberhard]

I agree, I think the earlies spool up faster due to the smaller turbo parts 
and especially matched with the smaller engine.  I also think that the size 
of the plumbing has an affect ... the plumbing is the same for my small 
engined 62 as it is for a large engined 65+  ... it seems to me that this 
is additional restriction on the larger engines causing a delay ...
