Yeah I saw that, TECHNICALLY it would be allowed in TurboStreet THEN in PowerStreet you couldn't even run a PT67, T04R, T3/T67 etc etc since it is 66.5mm inducer.

I definately didn't see NOPI making these rules as strict as they are , EVEN stricter than NHRA? WOW.

So Tony, are you going to not run NOPI next year or actually go through the hassle of swapping turbos out just for NOPI? Maybe they will chime in and explain if that .3mm for GT4294R will be allowed and the .5mm for the T67 , weird Also NHRA had some additional info regarding turbo size such as inlet size and then also Exducer size as well as turbine size. The NOPI rules just say MAX 70mm , done WOW

I'll run whatever class the car fits into, if it's Pro 4 then that's fine with me. I'm not changing the turbo for 1 race. I'll race and i'll support any local races, but i'm not jumping through hoops for rules.

It definately would have been nice to see NOPI follow in NHRA's footsteps with the Turbo Size restriction at least

Regardless if they're allowed or not, why would they be allowed a bigger turbo?
