This thing moves air better than a GT22, with less exhaust mani pressure and less heat - GTB and GT series cannot be compared really, GTB is to GT what GT series is to T series...
I was originally going GT22, and I've still got a GT22 I'll be getting anyway and keep it as a spare, but this was just too good-a bargain to miss!
End of the day, on a 1.9 8v TDi it'll make 270hp, spool at 2300rpm and keep the EMP below boost+1bar... And as previously said, it's got a high ratio of inducer to exducer, which makes it great for high pressure, it produces 27lbs of boost in it's stock application! 34psi of boost with the sort of VE that an XUD works at SHOULD equal 240-250hp, naturally I won't make anything like that because of the inneffciencies of IDI, but it's nice that the theory is there - if I ever decide to go TDi at least I know it's a great turbo for that...
