Yep, only 1200. Pretty shameful for an 80mm, huh?

LOL!!! Well I mean you would think a turbo of that size would be capable of more.

The PT88 is still considered a mid-frame turbo, yet they manage to shove an 88mm wheel in there that is rated to like 1250. That's a LOT of air. Had mine on the dyno a couple weeks ago, and only 600hp worth of exhaust managed to shove one of those commercial air movers like 15 feet across the shop. Turbos will move some ridiculous air, all you gotta do is ask

Actually a S480 flows about the same lbs of air a min as a PT88 and has a 2mm larger EXH wheel. A big T6 S480 with race cover will prob out power a PT88...

I was just talking about the compressor side. Sizing the exhaust side right changes the game quite a bit
