If this is for your car Ryan, then I say 10 years, as it'll be at least 8 before it's fitted

550bhp would be way off the compressor map mate, even 500 is.

Why not get a turbo designed to deliver air for 550bhp?

Whys that?

Id say a GT35 was a nice blower to use on 550bhp personally, its WELL on the compressor map at a decent effiency at just over 50 lbs flow.
