Well I'm about to pull the trigger on a kb front mount kit with a t76mm magnum turbo. Gonna run 3.5 inch down pipe and 3.5 inch all the way back. Any way I just won't some opinions on what size exhaust housing to go with. Lots of ppl go with the .96ar and like it I believe but I'm keeping my nitrous plate kit and decided to spray this thing out of the hole up to around 5-6 psi with 50-75 shot. So I'm wondering if I should step up to a 1.15 ar to take even more advantage of this or stick with a .96? Setup is going in a 02 ex cab 2wd with lq4 triple 12 cam and a 4l80e with STOCK converter. Gonna run about 10#s

my ar is the 1.22 and it spools full boost at 3500 with my circle d a1 converter and 3.42 gears...boost controller helps alot. mine doesnt open the waste gate untill i have reached full boost then it starts regulating pressure.

Is this a track only setup? If your gonna be driving it much off the track I sure wouldnt size the turbine housing based on spool time when you spray. Are the .96 and 1.15 both P-trim turbos? How quickly do you want it to spool under casual driving conditions?

The 4l80 is gonna help you with traction. I think the best move you could make for your build would be to go with a good 3k converter. If you were planning for one, I would say go for the 1.15 ar for sure. The difference between my stock converter and my yank made a night and day difference on spool time. If i had stayed with the stock converter, i would have preferred a p-trim .96 because the verter wont load the engine enough to spool the turbo as well under part throttle. With the 3k yank and 1.0 ar q-trim, the engine is loaded so much more that this turbo seems like its just waiting to be unleashed at part throttle acceleration.
