T34 with a .48 housing i have found is a good turbo with not to much lag
Pulls nice and hard upto 7k but my moter also has a ported head.

385bhp / 403lb ft with decent fuel. No other mods (apart from a three-angle cut on valves / seats) - standard cams, standard pistons (albeit 4x4 ones which combined with a 2wd head gives a drop in compression to 7.8:1) and shit loads of boost (34psi peak / 26psi held).

Mmmm - how many 350bhp Cossies do you know that have done a Brunters PROVEN 172mph with just four greens and a T3/4 0.48 a/r ? In fact how many Cossies with four greys even and a 0.63 a/r T3/4 do you know that have bettered that?

You will get more from the .63

You wont ever get a sensible exact maximum from a turbo as it varies so much with the rest of the spec.

.48 will get to 350bhp without much drama though on even a standard YB
