    Spool is in the tune and parts. We can spool a 101mm with a 284, a 6.0l should be able to spool a 75mm......... Go with the BW475, AR 1.32, T-6, Anything smaller than the 96 turbine is going to be a restriction. Keep back pressure in check will allow for great performance and the ability to...

    Budget... adding a turbo will blow your budget. Borg Warner will be the lowest cost (t-6 1.32), Master Power next Precision Billet For the 6.0 I would use a 75~76mm min compressor. The turbine and hotside AR is dependent the rest of the combo, Stall, Gears, RPM, ect...

    We have never used that band. The MP now cast about the same a comparable PT. Still bang for the buck the BW S400-75-1.32 is a great unit for the money, just larger. The BW 75mm T-6 will perform well with the 5.3 and if you fit the large turbo now no need to refit and change tubing if you go...

    What is more important, saving some money or getting a good reliable turbo? Will the money you saved offset the expense of repair if it fails. What motor is this for? CID? RPM? Usage? We have found many times a larger hotside (T-6) and correct turbine will make more power with cooler...

    which front coil springs with 6.0 in engine bay now?

    The TRICK spring is not a street spring. It stores energy but has a lower spring rate than most stock springs. So it will ride much different. Also if you have a free suspension (no rubber or poly) the lack of suspension friction will change the ride quality also.

    How long will this turbo manifold last

    You don't want to coat the insides. Most coating will shed off in the heat and damage the turbine. Best idea with steel exhaust is drive is a lot and keep it from rusting. lol

    We have seen both work. The issue is back pressure. The second is a little better design. It doesn't have to be a crossover style.... The biggest issue with steel or iron logs is rust and turbine damage.

    Wrist pins choice

    Yes speaking with a shop that builds large forced induction motors can open ones eyes to lots of short comings with off the shelf parts. Plus all too often people are looking at nothing but the price........ Not a way to start off a build trying to break 1000 hp. You gotta pay to play. I am...

    Wrist pins choice

    0.170" is a little thin... It not just about handling the hp but being able to survive cylinder pressure spikes.
