HOW DID YOU SPEND YOUR FRIDAY NIGHT? Schedule 10 304 SS. Weight = 30.74 LBS… Too bad I’m not baller enough to afford 321 thin wall… At 80 dollars for 180\*, that’s $1040 in tubing alone!!!

My A/R is .82 Don did a lot of work sizing this turbo for my application. I should be able to efficiently get 500-600 wheel out of this particular turbo. ---
