What kind of power are you guys making? I had a supercharged 95 ta, but want to go a different direction with this one. Any sugestions on turbos and maybe kits to make it easier?

Ya, that is too generic of a question.

we need info :

motor type (CI size)
power goals
octane usuage
supporting mods
fuel system
Etc....

Ive got a 91mm turbo and make good power, but Im not sure what your looking for.

your gt55 is like a pte91?

What are the differences in dimensions? How will it compare to a s88 in dimensions, required downpipe, etc.

That I dont know.

I know its considered a 91.5 mm turbo, but the housing is a larger frame setup with a t6 flange.

The turbo its self weighs about 73 lbs.
