How does the 480 spool? I'm debating whether or not I want an s400 or s366... Apples to oranges I know.

Nothing feels better than pulling someone in a sports car with a truck.

It slightly slow from a dig, because I still have torque management enabled I can't build boost from a stop. If I'm barely rolling like 5mph I can brake boost, and then it just screams. I built it like that so I can still tow really heavy loads and stay out of boost on flat roads. I had a smaller turbo and 3" down pipe to start, but I couldn't keep it from boosting with basically any weight behind me. I think its perfect, but if your looking for instant spool the smaller turbo might be what you want.

Don't need instant spool, want to still tow and keep my mileage . What turbine housing are you running?

That's too funny. Small world. Anyone who puts that on their license plate needs to at least do some nice mods. I have a feeling that car was totally stock. I wouldn't put that on my plate, and my corvette makes over 750rwhp.

I can't remember turbine size, but I think its 83mm. I'm not sure if Rick keeps track of that stuff, but if so he'd know.

My truck is a daily driver and loves 13.5psi with meth. 6 speed is still holding up good.
