Default Turbo comparison big s400

I was wondering if anyone knows if the newest VS 92/103 is actually the exact same thing as the forced inductions 91/104? Someone mentioned to me that you probably wouldn't even be able to measure the difference in the 2 if you had them side by side? How much power do you see people making with those size turbos and on what cubic inch engines?

The vs turbo and forced induction turbos are not the same and anyone that says that is completely wrong. You will make way more power with a forced induction turbo I have personally made 1350ish on a fi 91/102

TDI is the pervious gen stuff from forced inductions

1350 on a sbe is unreal. you have a build page or anything on your setup?

What fuel? What EMS? and who tuned it?
