Also, ALL turbos are oil cooled/lubed, and water cooling is an option, though not really needed unless you are running extreme high EGT's before turning the car off.

So looking at how much the FI70 flows it should be a pretty potent turbo. How does it compare to my current ITS 76MM DBB via flow?

Your typical 76mm wheel flows around 95-98lbs/min. The FI70 is very close to that and with a race cover its within spitting distance of reaching those #'s.

That is what I wanted to hear.. Last question... Will the FI70 spool like the typical 70mm units or will it spool like a 76mm unit?
