I agree . I cant speak from personal experience with a t6 i've always run t4 flange turbo's on my 4.8's and 5.3's. I would run the numbers past jose at forced induction he could probaly go into more detail. With that 96ar exhaust housing I don't see why it wouldn't.

It spools great it's a little laggy right off the bottom but my Fairmont has 273 gears and my converter isn't really setup to my liking. So I figure when I get a nice converter and a little more gearing it'll be on tha boost instantly. But it doesn't quit pulling on the big end with my current setup. You cant go wrong with that turbo.

No mine is t4 flange s475 with a 1.32ar 92mm wheel. There might be a better turbo for a 5.3 . I've always wanted to try a smaller ar on the exhaust side but i'm fixen to put this turbo on my 6.0 that it was originaly on.
