A 76/96 t4 probably but i tend to like things on the smaller side, thats the thing everyone has their own opinions on “lag”. But coming from a big tvs i dont think you will like that turbo, just a guess tho.
8or9lbs isnt working those very hard obviously and would get a lil better with more tho

I am planning like 20-22psi, and wanted a hot side to support more cubes at some point. I kept the AR tight to aid in spool, but a 76 isn’t gonna make the steam I want. So I ended up with a Billet 80

Fair enough, i thought you wanted more response and only 370”, your choice makes more sense now if thats what youre shooting for..

Here’s pics of the coolant expansion tank that you asked for. I used two of the stock stud locations on the passenger wheel well.

I got the truck and part back from paint. I had the bumper, grill, mirror caps, hood, roof, 3 piece bed cap, and rear bumper painted. This FINALLY completes the look I was going for.

It runs great so far. It’s loud and my butt hole puckers when a cop is near. I finally have a working fuel level gauge since I changed the ohm settings to match the 04 fuel sender. I can now also finally fill all the way up at the e85 pump. I had the small fuel vent ports venting but the big port from the hat was plugged. I didn’t want to constantly vent it to the atmosphere so I ran a 5/8 hose to the fuel cap void, attached a -10 bulkhead with a -10 cap hand tight. Now when I fill up I just twist the fuel cap and -10, top off, and put the caps back on and no fuel vapor smell when driving or parked.

Check out Customoffsets.com they came mounted and balanced at a good price. Shipping was a little slow but worth the price.
