...coming from a guy with a 408...no you dont. It all depends on what you want. a 76 with a 408 would be an awesome tow vehicle/daily driver.

I think I'd get the Borg. Not 100% sure on the t6 stuff but most all that Borg stuff can be upgraded in all kind of ways. Bigger or smaller comp and turbine wheels along with mutiple compressor covers and many turbine covers to change out. I'd think you could call up Reed or Jose and ask him if they would sell a smaller wheel for now and you could have that monster setup handy when have a big motor. Just my opinion fwiw...

I got a quote from rick @ trick for a T4 s475 with a 83mm wheel I believe. It was around $950. Not bad really. I just poor lol. I love the possibilities of the BW but I have to change so much to run it. I can get the pt7675 now and run it with my current hot pipes and make tons more power and sell it when I build a motor then go with a good BW or maybe 2. Im sure that pt7675 will hold its value pretty good

Going from Magnum setup:
4" DP $350
5" Intake / K&N / 5.5" to 5" coupler $160
4 Foot 4" Pipe/ 4" Borla Xr-1 muffler / 3 4" 45 degree bends: $320
t4 BW base turbo 950 - Purdy it up and add billet toys and covers $1780
Total cost for my swap $2610, ow and I'll need to have exhaust welded in.

Lesson here? Know what you want from the start and buy/build once, but as we all know thats almost never happens.
Good thing for me is my power adder is good to go for the next engine setup. I write this back out on the road working. Damn go fast hobby isn't no joke, got to work to play, pay to play, repeat. American way I guess

Thata why im glad i went with the BW S475 front mount this time. The 60mm, 67mm, and 76mm rear mounts were a joke compared to this one.
Plus they sound cool!!
Thanks to stock48 suggesting the BW 72mm then went with the 75 haha.
