And the band played on as the mosh pit got rowdy. Now where is that popcorn smiley.
I think to keep efficiency higher and have ample flow the GT30 is a better move for higher boost(8+ psi), and you can get it internally or externally gated. Sure you can take a smaller turbo to the choke line, but this will be at the cost of efficiency and power. Take your pick, do you want faster spooling and less power, or on the other end a marginally smaller operating range but the ability to create more hp in the mid range and upper rpms.

Sorry this is not a book thread.
On Topic - It looks like the hardest part of building your own system is going to be the piping and the manifiold. I'm interested to see how you end up solving these two issues.

Supercharged was pretty good, I thought. But the complexity of the system as compared to the turbo becomes even more apparent after comparing the two books to one another. The part about calculating power losses through the parasitic loss of the SC is pretty cool, and a bit demoralizing...

Why would you do that? At least get the compression checked first, and if it's strong I don't see the point.
