Default gm-8 w/ a .48 exhaust side???

what'd u guys think this would produce on my b16 a ported out .48 exhaust housing bolted onto a gm-8 center and intake?? i can get it to work no problem, but i'm really curious as to how you guys think this thing'll perform. someone give me some insight

because the .48 exhaust would be easier to work w/. that way, it would bolt straight up to my mani/exhaust/recirculated dumptube

i think no matter what compressor is on the turbo, a .48 exhaust housing is still gonna choke a b16's power at warp rpms

a 48 housing is what someone used to run a holset on a d16. i think a .60 is the smallest you want to go but i would just ran it as is and change what is needed

The exhaust inlet on the GM1~GM8 is a standard T3 style so your manifold will fit to it. I'll take pictures or the GM in a .48 A/R housing.

What are the specs on the GM8 turbo? And where can you find them? I haven't seen any on eBay...maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
