Give Turbonetics a call or e-mail them. They will be able to tell you what it will be like.

But from the compressor map, looks like 450bhp @15 psi or so.

Try taking off the caps lock. We are also going to need ALOT more info on you setup before providing a estimate. Ie- port, ign, fuel, psi, TUNER OF CHOICE(the biggest difference)

did you ever consider that the turbo was to big for a street car(lag wise)? These questions are asked every 8-10 threads. Theres a search button that will answer alot of your questions. Rotarynut, what mods do you have right now if you dont mine me asking?

a mitsu(greddy) t78 is smaller than the t-70 or t-72 you are referring to. garrett and turbonetics refer to the size of the turbo as greddy just throws a number out there. try to find pics of greddy's t88 compared to the real t-88.

Depending on boost and horsepower power levels you're seeking the T-72 is a pretty large turbo for street use. Pretty much I would not use anything larger than a T-66 for street use and that's pusing it to low 20's psi wise! The 60,62,63-1 turbos are better suited for pump gas use. Also in my opinion any turbo larger than a T-66 should not be used with anything smaller than a Q-trim turbine wheel.
As for what a T-72 is capable of I've made 648 rwhp at 25 psi on my setup.

T66 is big for the rotary (ok, most) What is goal for the car? Street, Strip, Road Course, Auto-X? 60-1 is going to be hard pressed to make 500Hp. I think you can get close, but won't go beyond.

I am running the T-72 on My car. Large street port on My car and the T-72 is a bit big for the steet but I dont think it is to big. I can drive the streets fine with a bit of lag. Anything belowe 4500 and You dont have much power but tap Your clutch and hang on as it pulls very hard to 9000. I think it would fit between a Gredy T-78 and T-88 for size.

good answer cris. Haven't seen you for a while. Probably because I haven't been around. My brother just got a 3rd gen and will be going with a t-70. I think the t72 is too big on a fd for street use. The t70 is the most that I would use. But like everyone has been saying, its a bit on the laggy side.
