I don't have results, but I thought it was the SX-80, which is good for 1350 hp.

I would be a toss up. Jose would probably say the S400-80 with 87mm turbine = SX80, but I'd be more inclined to say the PT8847, with GT47-88mm comp wheel and 92mm turbine, though the small housings cut the power. I think it would be fun to see both on the dyno. The Borg would be alot cheaper.

Any chance I can borrow an ST80 to see if it would fit in my car (in place of a T76GTS)?

kinda off topic but would the gt47-88 be more ideal on a bigger motor then the sx-80 with a little smaller turbine wheel? I guess what I'm really wondering is the bigger the motor the larger turbine wheel and housing?

Interesting. But I have to ask why though. 20lbs of **** in a 5 lb bag. The turbine side would become a major choke, unless they're coming up with some new pretty large housings.

Yes the GT47 is a bad ****, and much better suited to a larger motor then a SX80 would be. Lag would be the difference though...

Larger turbine, much larger everything, but T4 based.
