Come on guys. Al can only compare what he has in front of him. This isn't some shaddy setup to discredit anyone. He had a guy with a crappy turbo and switched it out. My guess is that this was one of the SSAC 50 trims RNR has been accused of selling.
Here's a thread showing who "app420" bought his RnR 50 trim kit off of.

Go back one month from that thread and you find the seller "KY" discussing the RnR kit he just bought. Pics show that the turbo is indeed not a PTE or Garret unit.

Gentlemen
I want to try and educate some of you about the reality of making a "test"
The customer is on pump gas on a low reading dyno in 95 degree air temps (its July) - the idea here is not to break a dyno record
What the dyno sheet shows is the effect of changing the 50 trim (which ever one he had) to a GT37 non ball bearing - that is ALL
Its irrelevant whether you think the "numbers" what ever that means are "good enough" or not
ALL that matters here is to show the difference between the two turbos as far as power band and how they work - ON THE SAME CAR
Of course I could make a few changes on the set up and increase power - for example by adding a AEM or a Buschur tubular header and o2 housing - but all of that is totally beisdes the point
This information is conveyed simply to help people who want to compare turbos
End of story
PS - if you want a dyno contest my Evo made 978 whp on this dyno and that was not even at peak boost

I don't mean to be a dick, but the fastest stock bottom end EVO [ 4g63girl / StreetTuned Motorsports ] went 131mph on a "weak pathetic" RnR 35R kit, in a full weight evo rocking 18s.

BTW - the Gt37 responds very well on the street there is zero lag between shifts and its on boost all the time - after driving my Gt42 it feels like a tiny turbo actually
