How much power? Alot of people are running the TC76 and TC78 on street/strip cars. Above that they are moving to mid-frame's and some of the guys with death wishes are moving to large frame....LOL

this is off of the garrett site itself, this crap can be really confusing as i have only dealt with boosted hondas in the past, but the airflow required for a V8 is much greater

S91 is a medium frame, the GT88 is a mid-frame and the GT5018 is also a mid-frame.
