Will a single T-66 Turbo support 600 rwhp? Im doing a custom turbo setup on my LS1 Swapped 91 corvette. I just flipped some shorty headers upside down, made flanges and doing my own piping. Im running them all to a big single turbo. It will be front mount intercooled (spearco).
I was looking at the T-66, T-72, T-88.
What HP will each turbo support on my stock motor (diamond low compression forged pistons) so i can order the one i need?

A T-66 supplies more air than a stock LS1 can handle. If you want a street-going turbo, go as small as possible. If you're looking for nothing but strip (4500 stall, or BIG clutch), go to the T-88. It's great if you have a 12-bolt, TH400/Jerico 4-speed, forged bottom-end, and all the money in the world for tuning. You'll get the 9s, or even 8s, that are potentialy possible for a turbo THAT big...

Personally, the T-63 is plenty stout for my stock short-block. It's T-56 junk, crap clutch, and all the rest of the engineering stupidity that goes with the F-Body.
