cfm of what? It's a unit of measure.

So you can't just have an overall cfm rating for a car.

The oil pump moves a certain cfm of oil. The fuel pump moves a certain cfm of fuel per minute. The engine can injest a certain cfm of air per minute at a given rpm. The turbo compresses a certain amount of air at a given rpm (rpm of the spinning turbo).

So you have to know exactly what you are trying to measure in cfm, before your question can be answered.

not sure what the cfm rating on the turbo is. does anyone have a flow chart on the evo's turbo? id bet its upwards of 600-700 cfm for the super 16 g. good for probably around 450hp with proper modifications.
