How much power are you wanting?

80mm would be a very fast spooling DD type. More race oriented would be a nice 88-94mm. 100+ would be in the 1500hp+ range, which is no small task.

It's the new borg unit from forced inductions. Supposed to be good for 1600hp or so, curious to see how it does.

It's basically a billet Borg Warner s491. It's a new turbo they just came out with. It's not listed on their (Forced Inductions) website. You will have to contact them or LJMS to talk to them about buying one.
