    Ok, I tried searching this but I'm in a bind and need to make a decision ASAP:

    I got a messed up turbo order received two .63 turbine /.60 comp turbos in the mail. Before they send fedex to take them back, I am wondering, if I ended up using these on my stock 5.0, how would they perform? I want a lower rpm spool as I won't be winding the car up really high (probably will rarely see 5500 for now). Can someone give me some quick direction? thanks

    There is no way to get an "address" to searches, which sucks, so put one together just like this (there are 2 whole pages of threads):

    I know, but I already tried that and many other searches.... I'm just trying to figure out if it'll give me some lower rpm boost, quick, something like the base incon kit is said to...

    I also know this should be in newbie tech but that forum is really slow and im in a major tme crunch with this issue... Sorry if I'm pissing anyone off, I was just hoping to get some direction before I had to deal with the fedex pick up and return/exchange garbage...

    Keep them then get a set of .48 housings from someone that's upgrading and put those on. You could sell the .63 housings if you wanted, but I'd just hold onto them until you decide you've maxed out the .48's.

    Like Anthony said, there's plenty of successful .60/.63 stock 5.0 builds out there, in fact that's generally the preferred turbo.....well two of them that is. :D

    FWIW, it will be hard to beat an Incon setup in spool-up time (and remain efficient up top). But, as you'll learn, efficiency trumps "spool-up time," every time.
