That's a question with about a million answers. You can't just put one figure to it. It wouldn't make any sense without a bunch of other measurements take at the same time.

Someone just posted a compressor map for a similar turbo. Just look at it.

I thought how much CFM goes through the turbo was far more dependant on the motor than anything else?

Or is that what you were trying to get at NZ?

I believe i've seen CFM ratings on aftermarket turbos, why is it that one cant rate the HT-15, NZConvertable?

Thanks

You can measure anything, but there are so many other variables that affect turbo airflow the measurement itself becomes pretty meaningless for comparisons. Sellers will state all sorts of impressive numbers to make you buy something...

And it's an HT-18.
