Default 10 psi t3 cfm = 10 psi t4 cfm?

i've been getting conflicting sides to the story..would a t3 at 10 psi flow the same as a larger t4 with 10 psi?

No, the bigger turbo will flow more pounds per minute of air

at a given rpm, on a given motor, at a given PSI will the larger one have more flow? from my understanding or logic, it wont. Not taking into consideration, lag, rpm, compressor efficiency, etc etc..

unfortunately we have to take into consideration compressor effiency and all that because he asked if a T3 at 10 PSI will flow as much as a T4 at 10 PSI.

So to answer the question NO

I was the one that asked the question in the first place..and i rephrased my question so it is much clearer. thanks.

Sorry, I didnt see that it was you that originally posted the question. My previous statement still stands though, you HAVE to factor in compressor efficiency and flow capabilities when you are gonna compare a T3 and T4 otherwise this thread would be pointless.

<u>Not taking into consideration</u>, lag, rpm, compressor efficiency, etc etc..
Are you saying that we should make a comparison without taking those above variables into account? that's how I'm interpreting it. cause I'm saying if we take out a few key variables then the argument will be pointless.
