Well, we can't find out what it is.

Must be a GT2056 *happy*

Yeah, i thought they had missed that out, couldn't figure out where you had that extra 100ish kg hiding compared to a miglia.

That's right Jim, the 751578-2 GT2056 doesn't have a ball bearing...
Keep the guessers guessing!

that would be quite a large compressor snail,

would it fit down the back of the engine?

The GT25 compressors are really not that large - They easilly fit behind a mini engine.

I just don't know why everyone is so interested! The turbo is but one factor of the pie in Jims engine!

Carl - you keep out of this you nothern pie man!

thats what made me pick the 60. 30 psi is a shit load to run even for a GT25! very much off the top of the map!
