Jose wouldn't the GT91 be a good turbo for him? The exh wheel is a tad smaller but the open exh housing should flow a little better.

Yes the GT91 is an absolute beast with pump gas setups. Spools actually quite nicely as well.

The PT88, and Garrett GT series have a 94mm exh wheel. You can swap the exh housings.

so overall, if space (physical size) of the turbo is a concern, which budget t4 would net the most power, but still have a streetable spool? on a 390-414 ish sized motor?
