Tyler,

The number of turns is not really different for NST or MOT coils.
Either type of coil can use fewer or more turns.  The 1400 to 1600 turns
worked better in my tests, and some others have found the same
results.  If anything, it's even more important for a lower voltage
transformer to use more turns on the Tesla secondary, to keep
the surge impedance high in the primary.  This happens because
more secondary turns requires more primary turns.  In a low voltage
transformer, you'll likely be using a larger cap.  This causes low
inductance primaries to threaten to appear.  These demons of
low inductance can be cast out by utilizing high inductances in the
secondary and primary.  (There are no actual demons, it's just a
figure of speech.)
