not sure but dont hang on my ***** to hard

low end = power under 4k rpms. so if your car is going pretty laggy and slow under 4k rpms, that means ur low end power is horrible/bad.

high end = "" same as above but above the 4k rpm range.

i might be wrong though, but its just what i think

small t25 turbo spooling up fast and improving the low end, while not big enough to really improve top end.

big T04 turbo that spools after a while (lag), then improves the top end in a surge of power and boost.

low end refers more to torque, and high end is horsepower.

hondaciv01 is an unknown quantity at this point
the big problem with alot of turbos or n/a engines is they only deliver good power in a certain rpm range. i know the wrx doesn't have great high end power but good low end power. a good way to fix high end power problems is usually a good ecu or somethin like that

werd...what lazy said gearbox said.

i say...smaller turbo = GOOD for our cars...if you wanna go turbo. you just wanna shoot out anyway...unless your looking for long drawn out races on the highway...which i don't recommend anyway. stick to the track...or your ps2/xbox for that stuf.

^^taking out pieces of the car to reduce weight WILL NOT increase your top end nor your low end power. weight is an different issue.

exhaust/intake/headers/cat

their are a lot of ways to increase low end. you just gotta find the right parts.

for example: apexi n1 exhaust.. 2.5hp/1.7torque gain made for high rpm gains
then theirs the apexi world sport.. 1.5hp/3 torque gain. made for low to mid end power


you get what im saying?

btw aem sri takes ur low end and increases high end
