My turbo setup I am putting together is, initially, not going to be pushed to the full potential.. And I'm planning on that

I have a conversation going on in another thread about what will be ideal for my wants/needs, and I dont see my setup as 'not running full potential', but more like 'leaving room for improvement' if you will.

Sure, a GT47-88 won't be at its max at 12-15lbs, and I'm sure there is a smaller turbo that can do this projected number more effeciently, but if I am so inclined, I know there is room for healthy growth without re-vamping my entire setup.

Exactly what ive been thinking.It wont be as efficient as it could be but its about what you want and what your goals are....sure a T88 would be really efficient on my 383...but wouldnt spool til much later than the T76GTS,there are tradeoffs.
