depends on exhaust housing but 360-380bhp i think

some people have mentioned 400bhp on here but the turbo would be straining to the max at that !!

A t3/t4 isn't a T34.. t3/t4 doesn't really mean much other than a hybrid.. but could range from 200-500hp depending on the spec!!

I knew it was a hybrid. But that was about it. TBH i couldnt find the info i was looking for on turbos. Mainly what all the figures mean. From previous conversations with people i got the impression that for example a T3 was the same powerwise no matter who made it. Iv since discovered loads of useful info on the garrett site. I realise now taht its not all about how much power a turbo will help generate but also that there are different efficiencies for say 400bhp at 20psi and 400 at 6psi

Thanks for the info and sorry for the stupid newbie questions.
