Yes, it would imply that, but I didn't say that:

I'm sure you wouldn't disagree with me on that.

I'm referring to the size of the compressor wheel (air per min). 50 trim's would be something like the
FP Green or something of that nature. To be honest with you, I just used it as an example of a "big" size turbo.

Garrett's marketing screwed the pooch on that) and not the old updated center section turbos normally known as T2/3/4. And like I said, good drivers would go around RFR or Thunder Hill faster in Tim's car than supastar's given equal tires.

The turbo I was refering to was the VF30 that is installed on his car. And the VF34 is the same turbo, just with roller bearings, right?

And the GT turbo's have been making some noise lately. With the
900+whp Evo,
high horse power STis, and
10 Second Pump Gas DSMs 
I dont doubt a less powerful car being quicker around a track than more powerful cars. The NSX is a great example.
