Wow, that's good to know.
For a built motor, you think a T76 would be the best choice? I don't want to run out of turbo, and it seems like you can cram some air into these motors.

BS!! If a t-76 with 66 housing has the same flow as a full t-76, turbonetics would only use one compressor housing. The t-66 compressor housing and backplate is smaller. I believe the smaller compressor increases the velocity of the boosted air which creates heat. The intercooler is already overloaded and the t-66 housing doesn't help. IF George believes they flow the same.....he claims the intercooler is good for 600+hp....then why does Robs kit make so MUCH more power per psi?
My primary guess would be tuning, TT did NOT tune their kits when you look at the dyno. A boost-a-pump was used. We all know that tuning will make you or break you. Secondly, the turbo used is a factor since I believe Rob is using the almighty Q-trim that I so desire. (wiping drool)
The log and piping are really not a huge deal, unless you are going to make crazy power, which even though I have the supporting parts to do it, will probably not push it too far (yeah, right...
