Default who is running a cxracing gt45r?
Looking to upgrade my tc78 which has a 68mm turbine to the cx racing gt45r which is a 77mm turbine! I think it would be a great upgrade for cheap!

My 5.3 camaro is trapping 128 on 9psi and should be 134-136 on 14.5psi curently.

Found it, looks like its the on3 88mm but the turbine is only an 83mm as to tye gt45r is an 88mm so tye gt45r will still probly make more power and spool quicker due to it having a smaller compressor wheel and larger turbine.

The 88mm on3 has a 83mm exducer and the gt45 has a 77.5mm excuser. But for the price of the on3 ($850) I would go bw

Denmah do you think its worth going with an 80 or 88mm over the 76? Dont they all have the same turbine wheels?
