Here ya go...... straight out the Horses Mouth.............

First the turbine wheel is larger....96mm vs 92, and the compressor cover difuser space is almost .5" larger which the S88 and S91 are within .05" of a full frame unit. Part of the reason why they don't suffer as much. Also the BW's use a larger diameter backing plate.

Keep on arguing the point all you guys want. A full out 42 frame vs. a full out s400 frame and the BW unit will own! Thats that, take the best and bolt on the other and you will see. On a smaller cube motor its not such a huge issue. Get above 300 cubes and you will see.

We are going to do some testing soon...I don't want to band wagon any one manufacture, so let the best turbo win!

I will post a new thread when the testing begins.

Awesome 70, do it up man. Thats what its all about, get the same car down the track with the two different units and see what works.
