Suggestion on a cheap turbo to test this theory? I know almost nothing about turbo sizing.

Call trick and see what options he has for you since you have his kit, he should be able to suggest a turbo that will bolt in.

He's the one who gave me the option to go 76mm.

He also gave me the option to reconfigure the manifold and go even bigger. I just want to make the most cost effective decision at this point.

I completely understand,
i have the Borg Warner S475 with a 83mm 1.0AR and its perfect for what i wanted it for.. Towing. i can pull a hill and not get in boost, but if i want boost its only a lil more throttle away.

I think all you'll have to change to run one of those Borg warners is change the first couple inches of the down pipe since its a big frame turbo and has a 4" v band...

So basically all I would have to do would be cut the V-band off, and flare it out to 4" then put a new V-band on?
