he should have done alittle math before slapping that baby on...even i have done it myself bigger is not always better.....try using this here:

"Dry air has a density of 13.076307480840681 cubic feet per pound

Dry air at 0ºC has a density of 12.417423770565761 cubic feet per pound.

pounds/minute * cubic feet/pound = cubic feet/minute

So just take whatever conversion factor from above, and multiply it by your pounds/minute value to get cubic feet per minute."

just check the compressor map and see what the highest flow will possibly be from your turbo
WOW looks like I was on the right track with my original post. How do you like that for a dummy when it comes to turbos.
