Two things you mention I definately agree with, but more on that in a second. Again, I think the confusion lies in the packaging nomenclature. Or maybe that people refer to the turbine sections as the turbine itself and assume its native housing (TD05=6cm2, TD06=8cm2, etc...) Greddy's T-88 is commonly referred to having a 08 cold side and 08 hot side. Let's just look at the hot side. While the turbine itself is TD08(H avail.), the turbine housing can be a whopping 15cm2 to a gargantuan 22cm2. Is it an 08 side? Yep. Does THAT tell you everything? It would seem not. Let's look at Greddy's Japanese website for turbos at [ http://www.trust-power.com/02greddy/turbine.html ] You'll see that they list the common name of a turbo, then the compressor wheel, then the size of the turbine housing. The common name describes the compressor housing family and the turbine wheel itself (and the center section), but not the compresor wheel nor the turbine housing. This is evidenced by their further explanation in the columns. Addtionally, note in the subtext notes that they further explain housing differences in add'l kits and applications; They do not refer to turbine housings as TD0anything. They are classifed by turbine inlet cross-sectional area. Again, this does not physically describe the housing, it simply tells someone which housing they're working with. Anyway, I hope this rambling makes sense and helps someone. I agree that Mitsu's nomenclature is confusing, and I agree that it's a shame that this thread was pushed down so quickly. Now I get to put the N/A rear, that I finished putting together yesterday, underneath the Z. Thanks for the discussion.
