Big turbine Borgs
 
Well iv been through several turbos now on my 6.0 and they have all been 76mm compressor and that's not whats been bothering me.. the on3 76-65 sucks above 7 psi. Magnum 76-68 was good till 10 psi but sucks over 5k imo and then I moved to a pt 76-75 cea. This was a big upgrade. Pulls all the way to 6k and gained me a lot of power... But since I'm 2wd and in an extended cab its hard to control that power down low and make it usable especially on the street. Traction just doesnt exist with my setup... So I'm looking at a different turbos again so I can control the power down low a lil better and for it to come on a little slower and smoother but for it to pull crazy hard up top getting me some good mph up top... Borgs have been on my radar for a while now because I like the turbine options they have and the one foose just got with the billet 11 blade compressor looks sweet and did a little reading and they seem to be great so what do yall think?
I'm think s475 et-r Ho with the 92mm 1.15 t4. I think this would leave me with a good pressure ratio. Prolly 1-1.5:1 I would guess. Do yall think its gonna be overly laggy or any bad side affects from that big turbine? Would be nice for some feedback from someone that's used that turbine in a t4 but I haven't found anything searching. I think it would be beastly...

Oh yea.. I have nitrous for track days if I need a little spool assist...;)

Why not keep that turbo you have now and get a boost by speed controller? Then you're not lacking low end when you want more of it.

Hmmm,what is a boost by speed controller?

Foose is putting that on his 4.8.

On a 6.0 that thing will be a beast. I can't expect any noticeable lag.

Right foot is a good controller. ;)
to make lazier for more down low controll.
It's a trade off up top Or down low. Gain down low either nitrous or One of those swing valve.???( wrong term can't remember correct one)

Close... but foose is gettin the one with the 83mm turbine. That on his 4.8 and the 92mm on my 6.0 would prolly act very similar I would think...

Quick spool valves! But I'm pretty sure I like the constant top end pull then the low end instant tire burning power... Atleast on the street...

Boost by speed controllers are programmable boost controllers. They allow boost to increase as you go faster so it doesnt overcome the tires.
