It's funny because if you look at the number cast on the housing it's the same, they must of machined my cover. Yep lot's of turbos, I've run all 3, the 80/87 is the one I just took off, it was out of air at 12lb's, it was pushing some serious air but it was maxed. I don't know the horsepower but my 80lb injectors where at 77% duty cycle @70psi fuel pressure. 5100rpm.

That's a compressor wheel homie. Turbine typically refers to the exhaust side.

I had a 18lb spring and would only see 12lb's and according to the injector calculator it was about 1100chp.
