Daniel's PTE 6870 TEASER 807whp and plenty to go

Fair point - we probably can't read too much into it until it's fully tuned, hopefully they do it again at that 36-40psi range but considering VE is only partly affected by the turbo there may be a point where the gains from a better turbine may become insignificant... but if this spools better than another turbo which otherwise allows similar power in that 36-40psi range surely it still makes the 6870 a definite upgrade still? Also leaves room for more if focus changes and they decide 50+psi is a good idea in future

It's not like the turbine wheel on the 3794 is from anything of recent years, iirc?
We already have seen how a gen2 compressor wheel on the PTE is worth 30-40hp over the same exact sized gen1 wheel. Then add in im assuming the new technology and r&d of the 70mm, and its not making a good bit more power at a respectable 40psi?
Again, reread what I posted, in particular the last few sentences.
I'm not hating either. I love any/all work from ER. I was just asking some questions from those of us that may have questions of whether there's any real value in switching from a different 67mm to the 6870, if it will be ran in the 36-low 40psi range.

Boost to boost down low -
4 more psi to make the same power and running 4* more? This should be pretty easy to call.
