It's not the amount of boost giving him 650 rwhp, (well it kinda is). It's all about the B-R-I-D-G-E-P-O-R-T wooooo!

Your asking to compare a pea to a watermelon. If you want the bigger turbo to make more power, the T51R is your only choice. If you want an all around turbo thats more for the street, get the T78.

The Greddy T-88 is what should be compared with the HKS T-51.
The Greddy T-78 is more in comparison with the HKS T04-R.
My opinion would be to consider the smaller of the set unless you planned on boosting well over 20 psi on a continous basis!

I had the greddy T88 before my KAI and I think that my KAI spools alot faster than my old T88.
