You can buy one with an 88mm compressor and GT55 turbine (111mm).. stout turbo.

There is also the PTE Pro-Mod 88, which has a billet 88mm wheel, 111 turbine in a V-band exhaust housing (lighter)

The BWS500SX4-88 is also a badass cast wheel 88 and the PTE X275 large frame 88 is about the king ding a ling of 88's..

We build the GT55's for many companies....they range from 80mm to 106mm. They can be had in journal bearing form as well as Ball bearing.

Wow....haven't heard from Sebastion in a while so didn't know what he was up to and how that unit worked for him with that turbine wheel. That 88mm ETR wheel is a beast with the right turbine wheel.
