Well... in a couple weeks I will show you what a PT88 can do in the back of a 408... Before my last "event".... my CETA put 702RWHP down with little lag and pump gas only... not pulling much timming either (think we could see 750RWHP with more timming). With race gas and upping the boost... think we will see over 850RWHP.
If I was to do the build over again... may go with an ST80 from Forced Induction... hell I am doing it over again

The GT4294 and the T76GTS are extremely similar. They both use the same turbine wheel. The GT4294 has a new design, but smaller, compressor wheel. All in all, they should break about even, but the GT4294 is available with larger turbine snails.
I understand that the PT88 uses the old T-series turbine wheel with straight blades, which is significantly less efficient. So, you get a more efficient compressor and less efficient turbine. Boost for boost, you break even on power, but the T88 the potential to run more boost when the 76 stone-walls.
The BWA stuff offered by DrTurbo and Jose seem to be the best of both worlds when staying medium frame. They support more power than the 76 and use efficient wheels both ends, so they make more power boost for boost.

If I was to do my setup over again... I could consider the ST80 from ForcedInductions... Look up "Zombie"'s post here... he is tuning his on his rearmount 370... already seen low 10's on a 76GTS... I am sure he will see 9's on the 80.
