Stock LQ4 for the moment with a 72mm frt mount. Circle D 258mm 2B in a 4L80E. Possibly going to a 408 LSX soon.
Both S475 and GT88 need a 4" down pipe. 2 1/2" would be WAY to small. I don't build anything with smaller then a 3" and that's only on T70's and some T76's.

A/R is only a ratio, not a size. HUGE difference between a .96 a/r like you have on your MP T76 and a .96 a/r on a PT88. The turbine wheel is much bigger on the PT-88 letting it flow a lot more exhaust gas See pic below, both are T4 .96 a/r's...

that looks like an easy upgrade. that thing trumps the tc78 big time.
