I just read that the SVO's turbo as a .63 A/r and a .60 comp, so that is a decent size T3 right, should be inline with a 240. I wonder is a SOHC or a DOHC KA spools a turbo better

That size T3 you're talking about was used on old 2.3L 4 cylinder fords. I'm looking at the same turbo; it should do well with our 2.4L. The DOHC would probably be spooling a turbo better than a SOHC. Both 2.4L engines but the DOHC's design makes it flow more air (which makes more power) and thus makes the turbo spool at a faster rate. How much faster you ask?.....umm I dunno
