I thought the PT88 was quite a bit bigger size than the PT76GTS? I thought Dr Turbo posted some pics a few years ago on a size comparison.

We compared my pt88 to my buddies mp76 and there isnt much difference what so ever. The exhaust housing is a tad bigger but thats really it and stated above the downpipe will need to be a 4'' instead of the 3.

if you get that borg to fit, ill cry, our setups are VERY similar in the placement of the turbo and down pipe routing. That turbo is basically 12" sqaure, just so you know. 12" x 12" x 12" or very close to it.

That picture is kinda of misleading, of course the 88 is bigger but not by as much as you think. The center section is what really makes it seem much bigger, the actual housings aren't that much diff.

In for the pics from Josh! If you have a PT76GTS to throw in the mix as well that would be FANTASTIC.

^ That's an S91. It is based off of the borg warner, but with different parts. I wouldn't expect them to look the same.

How does the S480 in size compare to a ST80? What diamter is the compressor outlet on the 47-88? Trying to gain some perspective to how large the 47-88 is.
