They are based on the TV frames like every big Garrett turbo in the world....lol, using newer GT parts. Everyone wants a unit compact like the S400, but GT technology comp wheels. Its here...

The GT88 will spool faster and uses a newer comp wheel.

The S488 is a 7 blade comp wheel. Flows about 9lbs/min less.

Same size.....and actually short in length as well. Will fit ANYWHERE as S400 can fit.

Wow...those are impressive. Might look into picking up an 88 to replace my 76 in the future.

Yup similar to the ST80.

Also we will be finishing a unit that will bolt up to a PT88 turbine housing.

Can you compare the new GT80 and the ST80?

Also these are a T4 flange correct?

They are T6, like the S400's. The GT80 will outflow an ST80 due to the larger turbine wheel and T6 frame.

Yes, but in the small H series cover. These use the full blown big covers like a S400 or GT42.

The unit will flow about 135lbs/min with that setup max. The T4 flange will be the limiting factor.
