Can anyone tell me how those two turbos compare regarding spool-up and top end power, given that the supporting mods are identical?

Thanks a ton in advance.....

dont know about the SP58, but my 57 trim spools about the same as stock, but you can even hear it moving SO MUCH more air than stock. Obviously, the more air you move the less PSI it takes to hit FC. Even with my stupid NA cat-back, I still saw a significant increase in power.

overall the SP58 is BETTER than an upgraded stock. As it is using all of garrets new GT series component which are more efficent.

I'm pretty sure you couldn't be more wrong.

GT components in a SP58? I'm 99.9% sure you're nucking futz.

Dude,

before you answer a post of mine. If you are going to say wrong you best damn well back it up with facts. LIke my fact that supports that they are in fact Garrett turbos ;)

See SP turbos are HPF turbo which in turn are PTE turbos which coincidently happen to be.. .GARRETT turbos as that is where PTE sources thier turbos. ;)
