A tune really doesn't matter as far a lag goes.....
Bigger the turbo.....bigger the power..... bigger the lag...

I had a T-70 on the car before....and now i have a Gt-35.... way more responsive.....
I did a pull with another Rx7 making 100hp more than me..... 2nd gear i pulled a little, 3rd gear I held my lead, 4th gear he came screaming behind me like a bat outta hell.... LOL.... and he was gone!!!!!!

Its also the reason y a lot of people still keep the twin turbos in FD's. There smaller yes.... but a lot more responsive then most singles...

I guess it all depends on what type of power you want to make

Still no coilovers man gotta start saving.
You think i'll have too much lag to drift with this? I'm getting it tuned by a pretty reputable guy.
Your wasting money on the turbo and the tune that could have gone toward decent coilovers... then your going to cheap out on coilovers and get shitty ones because your broke. Stop it!!! you do NOT need any more power to drift, last time we talked you were making close to 270hp at the wheels... more than enough to drift with, if not too much for a noob.

Clutch (if you do not have one)
Coilovers
SLIDE!

20Psi is abit over kill...
with a street port most people are pushing around 380-400 at 14-15psi...
18 and up people start using racefuel or aux injection.

Like andrew said,
You dont need to much power to drift.... the car is light as is...

I dont want to sound negative cause i see you have all your parts already....
So on the positive side I think youll be able to make the power you want with less boost.... so your not beating up too bad on the motor...

Sounds like its going to b a sick ride....

~400 hp at 15 psi sounds perfect. I'm really hoping those kind of numbers. Thanks for the input, I really am a noob (this is the first car i've owned lol) so all info is appreciated

Andrew, I'm thinking about just putting the turbo on a shelf for now and getting coilovers next. This way I could slide around with the current engine setup for a season or so before I go big turbo.

that would be a smart move... I'd also make sure your cooling system is up to the task... heat is the biggest enemy of the rotary and drifting makes it hard to keep everything cool... you don't get proper airflow to the rad/oil coolers.
