Call Reed at Work Turbochargers and never look back. He will steer you in the right direction and get you exactly what you need for a great price and with untouchable support. Tell him I told you to call and he will really really probably charge you more but he might feel nice and help you out a little bit... Haha

I am holding off on my vote until I see some debate and responses. I have all but pulled the trigger on the Magnum 80mm today when I found out it was an option. The Borg Warners are still a serious contender though!

Jake (smokeshow) put down 650 Rwhp/ 895 rwtq, with a ly6 6.0 and a s475! He runs a s480 now and I'm running the s475. I'd vote for a BW

Get something with atleast 75+ mm exducer on the turbine. I vote for a Borg 76-80 compressor and 83-87mm turbine option. Remember that Borg advertises the turbines different and list the specs of the inducer.... So a the 83 has a 74 or 75 exducer and the 87mm one has a 81mm exducer I believe... I say go 76- 87 Borg ftw!

Are you looking to stay with a T4 flange? 76gts are some pretty bad units

IMO, if you looking for MAX efficiency out of your engine then look into a T6 flange. The higher up in PSI that you go, the more restrictive the T4 will become compared to the T6 units.

I wouldn't mind seeing some better pictures of that mag 80mm and hear some feedback. That said, I think all 3 would perform well for you.
