PT88 or PT8884 CEA??? Well I have decided on going with a big single instead of twins on my setup. Was wondering what you all think of these two turbos, or if anyone has experience with one or the other. I am thinking the 8884 CEA will spool a lot quicker than the PT88 with the billet wheel. The 8884 also has a "GT47" style compressor cover with a vband discharge. My goal is still to make 1000whp on e85. Motor is a forged LS3, ported LSA heads, big cam, vic jr intake, TR6060 trans. Any input appreciated, here are the links to both turbos:

On the dyno they will spool almost the same with the nod going to the PT88 smaller cover.

Honestly the budget Garrett GT-88 from forcedinductions will smoke both of those units in the hp / $$ ratio. You will be pushing a PT88 very hard to make 1000 rwhp. AutomagicLS1 made 1142 rwhp through a 347 with a budget GT-88 https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...w-gt-88-a.html

Man I really love my turbo, but seeing all these T6 76mm BW units, and T4 76mm comp units with the big turbine wheels really makes me want to change turbo's to one of the larger breathers, all though at my cubic inches, to take advantage of that turbine wheel I'd have to spin it higher rpm wise then I'd like to, unless I'm wrong here.
