That's what I get for skimming.

I don't think you'll notice the lag at all on the 6.0. I don't even think Foose is going to feel any lag really on the 4.8 with his setup, although nitrous is really going to push that sucker faster.

I talk to OGs that were building turbo cars in the 70's and 80's and talking about 1-2 seconds of turbo lag. I can't even imagine 2 seconds of lag.

Could you do twin ON3's and make up for the smaller exducer?

I'm probably going to do twin ON3's. I think I'll get what I want out of that build, no problem.

I'm running the 76 with the 1.0 ar divided housing. Never been on a dyno but on 14psi in shitty air it trapped 121. I'm hoping for mid 120s next time out. Its a good turbo for the money but I wish I would've gone with a s475 in the first place. I wouldn't mind doing twin on3s but I don't feel like redoing the piping. My roommate is running twin on3s on his ls1 Camaro but we haven't tracked it yet.

You would Prolly have been better off with the standard .96 open housing. I think that 1.0 divided is actually smaller...

But I'm not looking to getting a fancy boost controller. I like the borgs and options you have with them. I want something that gonna maximize my HP per # of boost and i know its not gonna be as snappy around town and what not. Just wanna know what yall think about my choice in turbos/turbines...

I think the 92mm turbine would shine with your setup. Im guessing you want to stay T4 huh?

yea me neither. Im going to get a s475 with the 87 wheel and 1.10 housing for my 5.3. I think the same with a 92 and 1.10-1.32 or what ever it is would work very well on your 6.0

Just talked to forced inductions. He said a s475 with billet 6 blade wheel and 92mm 1.10 should work awesome for me... He siad the 6 blade will move more air on the 10-14 psi range over the 11 blade wheel so that'll work great for my setup cuz that's the boost range I stay in and the turbine isn't as big as I thought. It's 92/83 so it won't be all that laggy according to him but should pull amazing up top and back pressure should be just about right
