A 2052 will produce the same power at around 24-26psi that a td04 would be making at 30+psi, with much less heatsoak...
My car made a 'dyno' 175hp atf, but that's a typical dyno figure, they applied the wrong tranny losses, so if you apply the right tranny losses its more like 178-180hp, then include the fact its on a dyno, no airflow compared to on the road and that's without methanol injection... At times with 22psi that setup was producing over 190hp... With a 52mm compressor...
For reference, it make gti6s look like they were going backwards when rolling...
You cannot beat a modern turbo, but due to the fact they're low inertia to drop spool times and so efficient, it means that if you abuse them, they WILL break... You cannot run 30+ psi on a GT series if you want it to last, also its not needed, they're moving as much air at a lower boost pressure...
