Whoa! Twin GT80s?? I only have the compressor maps for the GT60... and it looks almost big enough to make 1500 at those sort of PRs... How much boost are they running to need not one but TWO GT80s... and I can see why they need to use a lot of nitrous to spool them!

The SP88 is a Sound Performance version of the T88, right (which comes from Greddy, and then Mistubishi)? From a quick comparison of the T88 and GT60 maps, it looks to me like the 60 flows more... so I can't imagine what twin GT80s flow. Looking at the pressure ratios and flow required, I would have thought Ethan is right on the money (and the video confirms it - man that is cool). I'm guessing the GT80s each flow more than the SP88 (but it's just a guess), giving something outrageous like 300+ lbs max flow?? Seems like a lot to me, if they are only (heh) looking at 1500hp.

Congratulations Ethan, will be good to see a streetable SC/Soarer in the 8s when you get there!! Any chance of a rough $ number?? heh heh heh didn't think so.

I don't think it is twin GT80s, I just know it is twins, not a single.

And my turbo is not a biproduct of a T88, it is a totally different turbo, and not even the same manufacturer. My turbo is basically the same as a 4-bolt PTE88, which is quite a bit larger than even Greddys biggest T88.

Also, thanks for the kind words everyone.

Let's just say it was enough to make me sick about halfway through the project... and we are in the middle of doing a few more things right now to bring that power level up a tad since we still have a few weeks before TX2K3.
