So, what are the price differences with
K27(#6 or 8) and the T3/T4.

I guess, with quick spool and good for up to about 20 psi/350 hp, what turbo is best for the buck???

I was always told the difference in 6 vs 8 was 6 spooled up faster but handled less pwr/psi and 8 spooled slower, but handled more.

well, your decisoin of a 6/8 should depend onthe compressor wheel you run... I really beleive that if you are running a T4 and compressing LESS than 45 lbs/minute a #6 with the LARGEST turbine is the BEST way to go.

I used my k27/6 up to 25 PSI without Problems but over 1.1 bar you do not see very high increase in HP.

I would say for high Boost you need a TO4E (or a k27/8)
The spool up of my k27/6 with MAF is better than a stock k26/8 with airflowmeter.
