The 50 trim t4 does 480bhp(48lbs/min)@2.8PR(1.8bar or 26.4psi)
The straight t4 is still more efficient, but damn the Super 50 is impressive.

HUH??? Cronic. you are dead wrong.
the super series wheels from Turbonetics are a completely different design from the regular wheels. although they share the same inducer diameter have larger exducer diameters. In all actuallity the "super 50 trim" isnt really a 50 trim
example:
reg. 50 Trim compressor.
2.122 Inducer
3.000 Exducer
Super 50 Trim compressor
2.122 Inducer
3.200 Exducer
which actually calculates out to a 44 trim. Turbonetics as usual has fucked up something very simple. why not make a new series of wheels called the super E family. and then name them with the appropriate trim? arghh... they suck
anyway, a few more things to square away. Compressor flow rating and efficiency ratings are the same whether they are on a t3/t4, straight t4, t25/t4....it doesnt matter!!!
the compressor flow rating is measured by a machine that doesnt even have a turbine...it just spins the comp wheel in a housing!! although a straight T4 may be better for top end flow on an turbo/engien combination (provided everything else NEEDED a T4 backside). there is no change in compressor capacity or efficiency by changing back side.
compressors are measured individually not as a whole turbo!!!
