The AR is talking about the exhaust housing to intake housing size. T-2, T-3,T-4. T-6 are the housing sizes. That is the frame size of the turbo. Garret GT2860 is using a frame size of T-2. Garrett GT3076 is using a T-3 frame size. The frame size dictates how large the housing is itself. The larger the frame size, the larger the housing. You can run a larger housing with a tighter AR and get more power. That's the simple version.

I'm glad you didn't give me the complicated version

Here is why the FI intercooler is having issues at high HP. Very similar problem. The end caps are tiny.

A good read. The math behind it.

See, you explained it perfectly

Why couldn't Spooler do that? He had to bring numbers into it. I ain't no gooder with numbers

Go back and look at the video for a glimpse of the FI intercooler. I have no idea how my car will do but it should do well. How well, I don't know. If I was measuring boost pressure before and after the intercooler I would know what kind a pressure drop I am getting. At high boost I beat I am dropping 2 to 4 psi after the intercooler because of the end caps. That drop creates heat.

One heck of a journey and I am still learning. If it was easy, everybody would do it.

Why did they not measure boost pressure before and after the intercooler?
