I've heard people say the same and others say that the GTX series is less efficient below 20psi. Regardless, I think SBD doesn't actually sell a GTX3076R but a turbo with the same size or "specs". Anyone from SBD still around on the forums to chip in?


I haven't​ checked if Garrett makes a GTX with a T25 housing. Will a GTX2876R be able to make +400WHP? Might be the sweet spot since it'll definitely spool faster and at 20 psi I'm pretty sure it would be in the 400hp range. best of both worlds I guess.
