Message	Here's a comparison of a standard PT76 vs the Billet PT76. Biggest difference in overall flow potential is the gain in total surface area where from the center pin to the inducer. Because of the lighter wheel and improved the design, the casting of the center pin diameter is MUCH smaller and therefore allows for more airflow with the same turbo. Thus not only providing a faster response and spool from the billet compressor wheel and bearing system, but also increasing overall efficiency of the turbo. With the new Billet Series turbos a simple 62MM is flowing over 750 WHP. A 67MM is flowing 850 WHP. 364 RWHP & 480 RWTQ <---OLD. New Numbers Soon!
