LOL all i heard from PROGHM was that the proboost turbo were smaller in size than the garrett name equivalent. I don't think he bagged them at all. But you'll find that the proboost gt45 is definately smaller than a garrett gt45, but good turbo nonetheless.

Proboost came on and just let everyone know that the GT42 has been upgraded to similar size recently. My god you're a peanut.

I've heard nothing but good things about Grant's turbo's and as you can clearly see I have no issue with them. You don't need to have a go at people to contribute to a forum. Anyway, back to the topic of Proboost turbo's... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I've been looking at the Proboost t04z with the .63 rear as a upgrade to my highflow t3. With a decent cam setup what power could I expect on the 18-20psi reving max 7000rpm? Im guessing it would be fairly responsive with the .63 rear.
