I was under the impression that the PT-88 utilizes a 4" DP...correct me if I am wrong here...

You could keep the 88 you have right now and learn how to drive a fast car,then upgrade to a bigger one when you get comfortable.
You could sell your 88 real quick like on your site without losing much money when the time comes to upgrade.
I plan on running a 94 right now and will put a 101 on after I get 50-60 passes in,or when I get bored with 7.40's.
I hear that a big turbo and little tire can be a handful to drive,especially for someone not used to it.

im sure it'll be a handfull, but anything more then a handfull is a waste, good thing you like to be wastefull.
so when do i get a ride (does it have a passenger seat?
)

1000rwhp with a 3400 raceweight will be a lot of fun. Your 96's will support 1000rwhp, just starting to get maxed out.
My turbo can make more power, but I'm not looking to push it that hard for a while since I don't want to find the limits of my shortblock early in the season... Plus the sub 8.49 cage rules require a bit of reworking for me.

Addressing bacpressure starts on the exhaust side. Making the engine breathe even better will make it worse actually. The further the PR gets away from 1:1 the worse it will get and the more hp you will lose.

Brent is running a TV series 88 with a T6, not T4 last I checked. Its based on the TV81. We built one for one of the TM members using the same core. Turbo is nice and will make some power. Also is made 1049rwhp...

BTW - 88mm is the size of the wheel, the case its in can vary in size (within reason). Obviously, the bigger the turbo the higher the ceiling, but there are exceptions. You have the money I think...call Jose and just have him build you one.

The two in the middle are the PT88 and GT47. PT88 is the smaller
Also the GT42 vs GT47

You made me doubt myself so I had to go dig it up! Almost 1200 rwhp on a T4 88, but not quite!

Sorry Tony, back on topic now!
