IMO, I would use one like stock48 has on his nova the s476 with the billet wheel. Or, I would use something lighter than a s475 like a pt7675.

The T4 S475 is a little bit bigger in the turbine, bit longer too. I don't have any side-by-side pictures though.

If I didn't know the s475 used v band comp and turbine housing and had 5" exhaust that could have fooled me. For sure looks to be the size of t6.
