Default Smallest turbo that can flow enough for 600bhp?

I'm looking for the smallest turbos, in terms of physical dimension, for my newest twin turbo setup, that can flow enough for ~600bhp each. Journal bearing or ball bearing doesn't matter, but V-band inlet/outlet on the turbine housing is probably going to be a must. I'm thinking gt35r at this point? Any info/advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Nick

My SC60s flowed enough to support ~600 each, but I sold them with my old turbo kit

70s would be WAY to big for the space they're going in

Standard GT35R's with the Tial V-Band exhaust housings would fit the bill. Your old 60's used a T04E compressor cover with a .60 A/R, the 35R's use a T04S compressor cover with a .70 A/R. It's only a bit larger but it's something to keep in mind

Single T60s make ~550rwhp all the time...

T04E-58's are the smallest and maybe the cheapest ones.

I'm hearing lots of good things about the PTE billet 5857, 5862, and 6262. Anyone have personal experience with those

My younger brother ran the PTE billet 6262 in his Evo and it was a bad bitch..very nice turbo. It would spin for a good 15+ seconds after he shut the car off.

Bad ***! Ball bearing? Can you give me some rough measurements of it from compressor inlet to turbine outlet, and the diameter of the compressor?

A masterpower T70 could do it.

For a 370, the 35r, 66mm or 67mm map out well.
The SC61 should be the same size as your old setup.
A 61mm tnetic's with a 62mm F1 would be about the smallest I'd think for 1200 fhp.

I will never run a masterpower, T'netics doesn't have vband in/out housings afaik, and neither of them are small enough in size. Going with either the PTE billet 5862SP or 6262SP (ported shroud compressor cover) w/ .82 vband in/out

Can you elaborate on the reason why no Master Power??? Over the last two years I've been dealing with them, I've ran 4 on my own setups, sold 40-50 of them and not had any failures, yet I have seen 5 T'netics bite the dust in that period...

Not a fan of t'netics either. You get what you pay for. Why would I dump tens of thousands into just the drivetrain/powerplant of my car and want to cheap out on something crucial like the turbos? Also goes back to the point of I am only looking for v-band inlets and outlets on the turbine housing.

Two Holset HX35's would flow enough for that, you could use the stock housings and just fab up a flange and be done with it super cheap like with the obvious reliability of diesel turbo's. Search through a cummins forum, find them for super cheap, rebuild them to make sure, then have lots of fun. There is a guy on the dsm forum I'm on that rebuilds them (assuming the housings/wheels are in good shape) for $160, plus shipping and handling.
