the Huge turbo i have on my car is technically a 71mm and flows 81 lbs/m
which is roughly 800 hp at the crank in its sweet spot of the compressor map, that doesn't mean it wont support 900, it just means ill start pushing it past its efficiency at 800 crank.

So at 15% drivetrain loss if you can put down 900 at the tires then your turbo will be happy because your making about 1,135 at the crank and that's being conservative, anything below that and your turbo will be basically too big . and i don't mean inducer wise on the compressor, i mean trim, and a/r wise on the compressor housing.
