I do understand. I have tried 3 or 4 different turbos & trim combinations on my E30 before settling on the turbo setup I have. If you want big horsepower you need a big pump. End of story. And with a big pump comes some issues. No matter what boost control setup you use, it's gonna' be nigh on impossible to bring the boost in progressively like a super.
I have a low boost-high boost setup, & I have a thumb button on the steering wheel to engage high boost. But it's still dramatic when it kicks in. And then there is the ever-present problem of lag on any big-turbo setup. If you don't have lag, well then you don't really have power.
