I have a similar question to a previous poster......why not run a T6 91mm Dave? Don't a couple manufactures make them in mid frame housings?

In theory, the reason to retain the T4 flange, is to unbolt your PT88, swap the compressor and cartridge and bolt it right back in. I think he said it will produce an extra 30 or so lb/min over the PT88.

so you could bolt this turbo up on a ebay turbo kit now and make 1000whp?

Anyone have a price point on this turbo. spool time with a 370 or 408

i cant recall the specs on the turbo, all i know is it is long awaited!

im gonna try to have numbers from it dyno/track by the end of november.

heads are off the car at all pro right now.

a T6 can't fit on my turbo system.. as big as this one looks if you ever see a full frame turbo they are significantly larger. lots of guys start out with have t4 kits and end up needing to push it to the max, this would be that type of situation

I still think Twin ProMod 71's would be more fun on a 3xxci ERL Based engine...

You need the new GTX-42 billet 71's. We are working on getting them done for release next month. Will make 100hp more then the current 70 and 71's.

how much will you have to change your cold side tubing? how much further is the outlet vs the PT88

I think the only real change is the discharge and intake are different diameter so you would need 2 new silicone pieces.

The GT47 turbine wheel is actually smaller then the current PT88 turbine wheel. The turbine wheel used in the 91 is actually the same size turbine as the PT88.

i think i would like a housing sent to me machined down to a 4" inlet instead of machined up and out to a 5" inlet.

if i cant get that done then i need a 4" to 5" 90* elbow out of somethign that wont collapse.. and i need a 3.5" to 3" transition

phil i ran into some valve trouble in memphis. heads are at all pro figuring out whats up with them.

running out of time for sure.
