T-04 is just a turbo series name. There are nearly an infinite number of combinations for the T-04 family. They have everything from the T-04E, T-04B, T-04S, etc. All of them are different. Depending on what combo you use, you may have a trubo that is great for low boost and quick spool times, or you may have a turbo that will push 500+ hp. The good thing about the T-04 family is that parts are interchangable so if you have a small setup now, you could buy new parts and have it upgraded later.

I suspect the Greddy turbo would be a great turbo up to about 10 psi. I can't see why not. Whether or not a T-04 is better for this really depends on which one and it's specs. Maybe yes, maybe no.

Rotarygod, I did'nt know there was a series of combinations for the T04, So thanks again.
With that in mind I'am now more interested in the SFR/SSR Turbos or PTP because I like the options and the fact that they are locating their Turbos high up near the alternator which will make it much easier to work on then the Greddy's which locate theirs very low by the exhaust manifold.

At least someone here agrees with me about the GT35. Jeff is the Moon Master.

I remember creating a thread about forced induction engine cycles. I tried mapping a hybrid cycle on my own, but it was damn near impossible. I took wakeech's advice and went the way of using what works, because someone already solved these problems.

I wish I learned something, other than materials science and PDE, last semester so I can use here. Fluids here I come! :D
