What if your goal is the high end power?? When you race track or any sort of racing, you usually between 5-9k. SO to me i think i rather have the top end since im building mine for track use. But having both would be nice. 
Though i will get a better turbo this summer.
Do you guys know if you can blow out spark plugs cause of flooding issues?? cause i think that's what happen to mine. I had upgraded plugs too.

I think the issue here is not whether you are running the car at a consistent high RPM and more the max HP target is well south of the efficiency of the turbo. You can get a turbo that is properly sized for the engine which will both handle a peak efficiency at high RPM and spool fully by 4k. If the turbo is enormous and designed to hit 500-600 hp and you are trying to get 300 out of it, its going to take a long time to get the thing spun up.

I had that problem with stalling. Specifically for me, it only manifested after I reached full operating temperature, so I tweaked the water temp map a lil, idle became richer and calmed down. I just did this a few days ago, so hopefully it lasts and the stalling is gone for good.

I use factory trailing and RX7 FD leading.

I was wondering how much induction noise everyone is getting? when I get into boost there is a loud whooshing sound from pipe work.
it's not that it is unpleasant
but it wouldn't be acceptable in a factory car. anyone tried to get rid of it?

Conical filters have this issue (unless teh whooh is air leak in the UIM.
Even my factory MS6 has serious intake whine when I took the airbox out and changed the intake... best way to fix is move the filter as far away from the compressor as possible.

Do you happen to know the efficiency of the turbo esmeril uses? I sure don't nor do i know what its capable off.. Now all i meant was that i rather have a turbo that might take a while to spool at the low end, but will give me enough to push my car to the set limit i have. Unlike having a small turbo that will barely reach the efficiency of whats needed or overwork it. Either way the turbo i got is ****. Will get a GT35 later on.
For me, I'm sticking with my low-mount GReddy manifold and the 3071R. It will have no problem hitting my hp target and should spool quickly enough for my purposes. Then again, as you said, dedicated track use and street use are two totally different beasts.

Unfortunately I don't... in fact nobody does besides Esmiril. What I do know at least anecdotaly is the turbo is designed for much higher hp targets than most who are running the kit. Now Esmiril has been running that 414 hp car which is probably a lot closer to the range the turbo is designed for. Obviously there is a middle ground between the stock GReddy TD06 which can't flow enough air for high rpm operation and the Esmeril turbo which seems to have problems spooling. The turbo efficiency thread lists some of the turbos which would be a much better fit. The GT35 is pretty awesome according to the flow maps anyway. I would really like to see the Esmeril kit running with an upgraded turbo as most seem to agree that is really the weak point in the kit.
