GT42 vs T88

Is a T88 good enough for a 391 LS2?? What's the diff btw the GT42 and T88? What would you recommend on a 391 LS2?

the garret has bigger ARs and a T6 flange which would better suite the larger cubes.

I would look into a s78 or a s80.

PT88 will flow a tad more due to the huge TV series turbine. Give us a call we can help.

hmm.. how hard would it be to change out turbos.. when the T88 is already installed on the 391 LS2?

You have the PT88?? IF you already have that unit, and you want to move up then you would go with an S series turbo. It will drop right in where a T6 GT42 fits
