Of course not.
Then why do you accept this from a turbo manufacturer ?
A turbocompressor purpose, as its name implies, is to provide air flow at some pressure, and it has limits.
A flow map tells you everything you need to know about the turbo. Its limits, its efficiency and what it can achieve. It also tells you the manufacturer knows about its products and has means to test and validate them.
A turbo manufacturer not showing its flow map would be like a car dealer that refuses to say more than "it is a car, and it has an engine, but i wont tell you how much HP it makes nor how high you can rev it. Use it till it blows, and sit on your warranty".
I know too well how the performance world works. When it is too good to be true, it usually is.

Have no clue where you are coming from talking about motors. If you know alot about turbochargers you can usually tell how much HP a turbo will make just based on turbine and compressor wheels but there are many variables. These new billet wheels that are being used by many different manufactures are making more horsepower than there cast counterparts.
Anyways, I dont want to get into a pissing match. The one thing that everyone is missing is THANKING Jesse @ Pureturbos for providing a replacement turbo for RB20/25 capable of this much HP. No one else in the business is doing this!! I have called other professional turbo rebuilders and they would not even consider touching the turbo, not even just replace the ceramic turbine wheel.
THANK YOU JESSE, If I hadn't gone with a top mount setup you would already have my money.
