T04E-46 - Bad choice ?
Well, I already have one so I am stuck with it. However, I was looking at the compressor map for that turbo and it seems like it might be less than ideal for the engine.
The turbo is a T04E-46 with an 8° exhaust clip in a stock turbo housing. The engine has been streetported.
Asuming, I run 13psi that would (14.7 + 13) / 14.7 = 1.88 Pressure ratio.
I heard some where a ported rotary flows about 34 lbs/min
So, using that and looking at the map it seems like the engine is to much for that turbo. Am I reading that right?
At lower boost the turbo really seems like a bad choice.

Sounds like the majestic upgrade? If you look on turbonetics' site, you can see that the to4e-46 really isn't that big of a compressor. Just about equal to a t5/t6 from the to4b series. You might be able to reach 280rwhp.
Is that the stock exhuast wheel? I always thought they stuck a stage III t3 turbine in.
Ted, 350?? I think 300 to the wheels would be awesome on this set up, but I don't see it happening very easily?
Edit - th ct26 is somewhat similar in size to a ht18, of course the 13b and 3sgte are just a slight bit different....
