A 60-1 compressor would be in its peak efficiency island at 8 PSI of manifold pressure and 300 WHP.

Looks like the banner says 300 HP not WHP. From that screenshot it appears the banner is correct.

Well its not a 70 trim per say. The inducer is 59mm and the major diameter is 76mm. The 60-1 is used on several high HP 4 cylinder cars. Its capable of 570 CHP worth of air. Although keep in mind that the turbo in the Turbonetics Tc kit (T04E-50 trim/Stage 2) is capable of 470 hp of air at max flow.

I hope someone's already addressed that "all PSI is not created equal."

It is possible to make more power on 10psi than on 20psi. Has to do with the proper turbo sizing, proper tuning, appropriate CFM for engine size, etc.

Well clearly Turbonetics has a corrected banner as it was shot from someones box. Perhaps whoever loads the banners just needs to ensure that the correct one is loaded.

they are all about the same on a stock car. Problem is most dynos you see on here poeple have different mods which means different hp numbers. I would say a safe guess with any turbo system, Turbonetics, ZPI, Dezod, look to get 240whp.
