That's a good read!

I wish they explained the turbine maps a bit better though, those confuse the heck out of me.

Here's the main page you want to start on:

http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbob...ch_center.html

Then you can go from there to the various topics along the left side, like "tech 101", etc.

You check the compressor wheel (and its accompanying maps) and the turbo wheel. "T3/T4" comes in several sizes, each one with a different maximum power output. Don't go by psi. Go by the lbs/min airflow of the turbocharger.
