i need some info on these three turbos from size to airflow

gt47 garrett
s488
s4t big bro from Industrail

using one in a twin setup cant figure out any info but more then one company told me to pick one of the three for my ap. well need to know alittle before i chose thanks.
 
Need more info on the Garrett to answer your questions. There should be more numbers afterward like GT47XX or GT47XXX.
 
Gt4718 is about 138lbs/min & spools faster than the other two and is most $$
Big Bro is 120 lbs/min and spools the slowest but cheapest to get
s488... not sure what the airflow is... I think mid-high 120's and about 1/3 less $$ than the Garrett.

This is with similar sized EH's on all 3.
 
gt4718 is the same as the r just bb? they have 8 listed all diff part numbers dont see the diff in them what is the cost for the bb 47?
 
The GT47 (can be 08 or 18) without the "r" is journal bearing. With the "r" -- as in GT4718r... is Ball Bearing. The BB turbo is a fair amount more.

All the numbers you see are the difference between the compressor wheel size-- again, 108mm inducer or 118mm inducer, combined with the 4 different exhaust housing choices...

Then another set of part numbers for the BB version.
