Which magnum are you comparing this turbo to?
Magnum has an 80mm turbo out that's similar to this.
It flows very well and makes great power.
Can't say much for the turbonetics stuff, been there done that.
M480 - 80mm
comp:
.60 - a/r
127.0 - air inlet
107.0 - air outlet
80.0 - ind wheel
108.0 - exd wheel
55 - trim
turb:
1.33 - 1.33 (not sure it's avail yet, 1.15 is)
T5 -
6-Bolts
DIVIDED
77.5 - exd wheel
88.0 - ind wheel

Borg warner has some nice stuff , seen it on a few trucks, and tuned them, just haven't used them yet.

What size is the mounting flange? I'd like to find something that works well with the T4 design and is bigger than the Magnum T76mm, but not step up to the M480 Magnum.

I was talking about the 70-72-76 wheels with the small turbines. I haven't read or heard much on the m480, but my first thought is 11 blade ett billet 67 will outspool it and the 73 turbine would respond better to a small engine and still have enough to push a stock bottom end well north of 600HP.

I'd pick this turbo over the M480 "only " on specs, not first hand review of either.

@ farmtruc Its got a t4 mounting flange.. I also told them to go ahead and swap the .88 a/r exhaust housing to a 1.10 before they ship it out. Comparing specs to a magnum 76 this turbo has it beat. Ive been researching turbos all year to find one i would like and was eyeballing the s472-s475 but decided this one would make the power goal i am aiming for with better spool time than the s400sx turbos

Thanks for the info, standing by to see the results.
Ya, i'm sure it blows away the T76 magnum small frame.

Well I'm an indecisive guy ended up selling that turbo and got a s475. Few weeks ago my friend asked me to sell him my turbo kit so I got rid of everything I had. Right now I'm researching a twin build and I think 2 of these s366 turbos will make stupid power on the 4.8. I just need to quit buying and selling already and actually finish my build.
