Default New turbo ordered

I have been running an s472 with an 83mm wheel for the last couple of years and have finally maxed it out with a stock bottom end. I hurt the motor in my truck a couple of weeks ago and it is at baker engineering getting prepped. I decided to go with a s480 with a 92mm billet wheel this time around which should work well on the truck.

92mm billet turbine? Or billet compressor...? If it's the compressor I've never seen a wheel that big on an s400 frame.

I have pretty much the same turbo, ordered it with my Trick kit. S480 with race compressor cover, 92mm exhaust wheel with a 1.25 a/r T4 housing. Let me know how it does, I'm going to use a smaller turbo on the 4.8 until I get a forged 370 built.

I'd say. From what I've heard the BW 80mm billet compressor wheel will support nearly 1300rwhp Pretty nasty indeed. Definitely more turbo than I'll ever need in a street ride.

yeah it should do well. I ended up with a 1.25 a/r after discussing my goals with Jose. I had good results with the s472 as well the truck almost trapped 130 with that.
