Honestly if your looking for big power I wouldn't bother. It only has a 2.44" inlet so there's not much room for drastic increases. Idk how electrically involved it is but I know its quite variable with load and acceleration %

I was running one mechanically controlled. It's good to 500hp..... I've got 7x.011 injectors, stock DV's, rack plug, and 19* of timing. I'm definitely overfueling this charger, and it gets hot towing heavy, which is why I'm upgrading to twins. But, it lights pretty quick. I'm moving the needle off of zero on my boost gauge at 1100 rpm....... By 1400, I'm at almost 10 psi, and it takes off from there........ Free revving, I can make 10psi.

Now, that said, it's a LOT of messing around..... So if you don't like tinkering, don't do it.

As for the size, it's a 60/60/VGT, meaning 60mm Compressor, 60mm Turbine, and the exhaust housing is VGT and infinitely variable from 3cm2 to like 23cm2.....

Oh, and the exhaust brake is pretty effective.

Anything else you need to know, send me an email... matt hew(at)icsre pair.c om (Email address butchered to keep the spam bots away.... Take all the spaces out)

7x011's are similar in horsepower to 5x14's..... PM me and I'll give you the contact info for my builder.. He's cheap and he's GOOD!!!

It should spool faster than your super 40, but won't be any improvement in flow.... Same compressor wheel. Exact same part number.
