The S series uses a larger turbine wheel, bigger frame turbo and will make a good bit more power as well.

Yes that sinister look works for me and Shawn alike. The hot side parts will all be coated black and the cold side will powder coated gloss black like the compressor housing. Should be fairly hot. I have had more then one person come into the shop and ask if it runs off ***.lol.

Yes its a T6 1.34a/r. Its a bit bigger then a PTE88. Its the same size as a GT42 it will even bolt right in the place of a GT42.
