Default What does the T stand for Turbo, such as T26 or T77

Hey guys just got a turbo car and I was wondering what the T's stand for as I guess they relate to numbers. My turbo is a T26, I'm assuming a big turbo is a T77. I can get that for my car, but I'll probably blow it up.

Sorry for the nOObie guestion, but bare with me.

the T just means that it is in the "T" series turbo chargers, HKS uses Garrett and the GT designation.

But according to this site I found the other day, large turbos such as the T78 tell us that the turbo is a T4 series turbo with a 78mm compressor inducer. T66 has a 66mm compressor inducer and so on.

The guys at Innovative Turbo just told me the same thing. I really didn't realize that but I suppose it should have been obvious.
