    need advice on a turbo, have a 6.0 going in a foxbody, and was planning on a Denmah kit from VS racing with the 80mm upgrade. After reading on here I think the BW 475 would be better. It's a T6 1.32 ar 96 turbine. The GT45 80mm is $589 and the BW is $699. I priced the BW as a upgrade with the kit and it's like $1300 and some odd dollars from the kit price of $868. What do you all think? I think this is a divided flange so can I put the WG right where the hot side merges or should I run 2 WG's? I'm not quite ready for it yet, just trying to get things planned out. Going to take the PG to get it built shortly, car's almost ready. This is a slow budget build but I want to get the best bang for my buck so to speak.

    I have the VS racing 80 mm and are very happy with it, I use 1 40 mm waste gate but thinking a 50mm or bigger would be better.

    The gt45's have more than proven themselves, but for the price difference between the 80mm, and the s475, I would definitely go 475. If the 76, and 80mm's were priced closer to what the 68's are it would be a much tougher choice, but in this case I believe the 475 is a better engineered product, and is upgradeable in the future if you choose.... my 2 cents.

    475 would be a better quality turbo

    That was my thinking, and the room to grow part also. I did kick around the idea of 2 of the small gt45's, but since this is my 1st ls and turbo build I figured I'd better stick with 1. Only thing holding up progress right now is money. Seems to get in the way a lot lately. Thanks for the help guys. I know I'll need more later.
