Tc76/sts?
Anybody tried a TC76 ball bearing turbo on a STS kit with a 6.0L? I am running a MP70 now and I want to step up so I'm not pushing the turbo past it's limits. Any clue on how it would spool compared to the mp70 since it is a ball bearing?

From what I have read the MP76 will do you fine. The ball bearing center housing is not really required. Now if you have lots of dough then it won't hurt either.
Lets hear what the other guys think.
What hot side are you planning to run? Do you have a .81 A/R with the MP70?

I'm running a .96 housing on the mp70 now but I have a .68 and .81 sitting here that I could try. I started off with the .81 but it felt like it was choking up the 6.0L on the top end so I switched. I'm thinking of running the tc76 BB with a .81 housing to get it to spool faster but I don't want to sacrifice the top end. What do you guys think?

I am planning on trying a 76 with a .96 but I am a little worried about lag. I can bolt it up to my .81 as well but I am wondering if it will spool the 76 as well as the .96. I think I will end up trying them both and hoping one will work to my liking. Mine is my DD so top end is not my main concern but hoping for lots under the curve.

I have wrapped the exhaust all the way back and I have a turbo blanket on the way. The lag isn't that bad with the mp70 but I'm wondering how much difference there would be with a 76mm.
