Re: Uprading my 50trim to an SCM60

Yea, for most people the options are 16G, maybe 20G, 50-trim, 61mm or something huge. Most of the time nowdays people skip the 60-trim and 60-1. The 450HP that PTE rates that turbo at is way underrated compared to how they rate the 60-trim. They are just going off inducer size, not how well that compressor wheel is really known to perform. You could make over 450whp on a Dynojet with that turbo but they only rate it at 450hp flywheel, while you will never hit 580whp with the 60-trim. John LaCriox made a lot of power with a 60-trim, but I think he had a T3 .82 A/R version. It is hard to make power with the small Mitsu exhaust housings.
