[s-cars] #8 or #6 Turbine for K26/TO4E Garrett Hybrid

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

Cody, IIRC and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but
that combo (K26 #8 hot, T3 center, t04E 50 trim cold)
spools up around 3800 and pulls hard to redline.  I
guess you can get quicker spoolup with a #6, but you
might sacrifice some top end silliness.
