im hoping i can get by with the t4 as i dont wanna have to buy a new hotside!

As far as swapping from a 6.0 - 408.
A Borg t4 84billet 96 exhaust would be a fun set.
where would i add the new gate? in the crossover? will a 39mm be sufficient?

39mm will be fine if you want to run high boost only.

Jake the Borg t4 turbo.
You'll need the 3.5" downpipe.
Since you already have a 39mm gate we can set the down pipe up for that
Or
if you buy the 46mm gate I would set it for that. (46mm is the normally for us on Borg s400)

Then sell the 39mm. Or keep around just incase. .

The 408 and 39mm gate is going to be tuff getting lower boost levels.
Now the air filter needs to bumped up to the 6" stuff we use on stage 5 kits.

The 46mm gate won't bolt on to the manifold it would need to be on the crossover correct? And block off the manifold opening?

No on the manifold. We use a 2bolt to vband adapter.

I doubt it would keep boost creep in check! Especially on a 408! I just picked up a 60mm Tial to not have to worry about it on my 370.... I was gonna try to use the 44mm Tial, but didn't wanna have to buy something twice!...

60mm is overkill, but yall don't have experience with that type of boost so its understandable

can you send me a invoice to my email for the down pipe, 46mm gate and the adapter. I'm going to bite the bullet and order the s484

EDIT: PM sent
