    I'm not the guy to recommend your turbo but I think most here will steer you towards a borg warner if your on a budget. It looks like your kit was built with a t6 flange and has an adapter to go to t4. Probably worth making a few calls to some vendors and doing a little digging around here for some other similar builds. I'd figure out what your ultimate power goal is going to be so you don't sell yourself short on the turbo if you choose to change it.

    I agree about the bw turbo. The S400 series have a sweet whistle to them too.

    x3 on the s400. Maybe do the 1.10 a/r. 600hp will happen by accident.

    looks like I am gonna go with the s475 with 1.32ar t6 based on a recommendation....probabaly gonna make more power then I was thinking I wanted but.....i'll keep that in mind when im on the pedal....I know my block is my weak point but I dont wanna ring up any more $ or i'll never drive it this summer.....looking at about the $670 range new for it....gonna keep it in mind but i'm looking for cheaper if I can.....is there a wanted section here? I dont see it..... :doh: if I cant find it cheaper i'll splurge and go new....not to mention the car will only see track time maybe 2 times a year....kinda doing it as a wow factor...no one here runs turbo setups.....seems to be superchargers are easier so people go that route....I wanna be different and fast so here we go lol....thanks for all the help guys.....keep chiming in tho still a few more questions to be answered....

    I would go with the 1.10 on a smaller engine personally. I have a 1.08 on my Garrett and I like it, but my pipes from my headers to my turbo are 3". I should have used 2.5". I am going to change it to 2.5" in a few weeks and see what changes.

    Here are a couple of vids of rides with the S400 that show off the whistle nicely.

    I would go with an Aeromotive A1000 for the fuel pump. I have tried a couple of different pumps other than the A1000 and I like it the best.

    Re: 600 hp street goal? UPDATE on MY BUILD

    So I ended up with a sick little boy after I started this thread...I been away from home for 2 months living at a hospital in Toronto Ontario Canada....Sickkids to be exact....anyway to make a long story short one of my twin boys (now 11 months old) developed transverse myelytis a very rare and devastating disease(you should read on it) im trying raise awareness its crazy rare and as I stated DEVASTATING to the person it attacks and also the persons family....so this build was put on the back burner as I had to leave my job my house and basically everything behind where I live 8 hours away and give it all up....anyway my son is now in the recovery stage and moving to a rehab hospital so I just took a new job back home and I am gonna commute back and forth thanks to a ton of support and donations to help me stay by my sons side during this hard road he is on....now that I will be working again and thanks to some income tax return money I have made the decision to use this build as my therapy(LORD knows I need it!) and I will be dedicating it to Noah(Nathans his Bro and will also be included)....both my boys are already gonna be car guys I can tell...they love passtime and we watch powerblock all the time :D I cant wait to take them for a ride when its all done....I made a deal today for the S475 I wanna use for the turbo and will be gathering parts as I need for the build and starting a build thread(have a bunch as you can see from previous posts and pics)....Im hoping to have some followers and some good advice to finish it up.....I just wanna say I will never take anything for granted ever again as crazy things "just happen" and if you read on TM you will understand why I quoted just happen.....Google Noah Sweeney Sault Ste. Marie and you will see a full story on my boy and a heartwrenching video of him and his brother being reunited after nearly a months time......cheers to everyone for the support so far and please post anything you may have to add....also, keep ur eyes open for my BUILD thread in the coming weeks....I really gotta learn how to post pics tho :doh: thanks in advance for reading my thread guys....I hope for the best for everybody in life I really do....BRIAN

    Right on man! Hope the little guy keeps his head up about things and stick with it. That sounds like a horrible deal and I wish you and your family the best.

    With the turbo, keep in mind that you may need to do a bit of modifying to the hot side of the kit to get it all to work with the 475. it weighs about 50 lbs, so it may have to have a hard mount right to a frame rail or something, and it has a T-6 flange instead of a T-4. Ill be watching and giving the best advice I can!
