As the title states I am wondering what the difference between two turbos.

GTB1749V sold by DarkSide and the GT1749V.

There is a bit of a price difference some sites more some less, but I'm wondering what the potential power you could get out of either would be. On DarkSide they rate the power of their turbo at 200-240hp but I haven't seen any real numbers on the other turbo.

If anyone has experience with the other turbo and could give insight that would be appreciated, or if someone has a different turbo that can comfortably make 200-240 hp on the BRM platform (or if these turbos will even properly work on BRM). Obviously with all the other needed upgrades but just looking at pricing out the turbo right now.

Okay that's good too know. Is there any big real world benefit to getting the GTB over the GT then or is it minor improvements in certain performance? Because I'm willing to sacrifice a second longer spool time or other small things for a few hundred dollars.
