Exactly my point. The compressor MAP isn't what hp turbo can make, it's what the compressor can flow. You aren't going to make anywhere near 700rwhp with a dinky little T3 housing unless your running 40+psi and race gas. If you want to talk about small housings, race gas or water/meth, and 40+psi, the DSM guys are trapping mid 130mph in the 1/4 at full weight with the HX35, and that compressor map is about 9 lb/min less than mine. The DSM guys have also run a T3 .70 a/r HX40 at 650+rwhp, but it was at something like high 30's psi. I don't think it does a whole lot of good to quote hp figures for stupid high boost when most people on here are running street/strip cars on pump gas seeing no more than 2 bar of boost.
I have no doubt a Supra could produce those kind of numbers with a T4 housing. It's probably got a much larger a/r and better matched to the flow of the compressor.
And that billet turbo that dyno'd at 920whp was running 46psi when he did it. That's 3.2 bar of boost.
Also, your 502rwhp, was that 20psi or 24psi? I'm not dogging your turbo, or saying holsets are better. I would love to have your compressor. It's bigger than mine and a real performer. I'm happy with my choice considering my comparatively faster spool times and the fact that it cost me $300.
