Brabus just hits 788 crank hp, though, no?

That's only about 630 whp, by their usual "20% loss".

Hmmm my bad, that wasn't my question... I meant "What rwhp/rwtq have you gained w/the modded Billet turbos on either 600/65 platforms?" thank you..

I've already seen POST mods, depending on Dyno used, either DynoDynamics 564 rwhp or DynoJet 633 rwhp... (Used the same EXACT DynoJet from stock, made 445 rwhp in absolute STOCK form) Then after ALL mods in my SIG & lot's of ICE in reservoir & 100 oct I saw the 633 rwhp on same DynoJet.

What would I aproximately gain to the wheels w/these new Billet Turbos/wheels.. Thnx again..

well I am sure going to follow this thread. Is there a decent gain if you use 65 turbos to start with on this upgrade? I have seen a few 65 oem turbo/manifolds out there, just not sure if it would be worth it. I would love to think this is in my near future, but it will only happen if I win the lottery at this point.
