You decide to go this route instead of the FAST intake? Thought for sure you'd want to see if our theory about your cylinder heads+ large primaries over scavenging was correct.

If I decide to not go turbo, then I will be getting a FAST setup. Right now, all signs point to turbo.

I didn't see it on their website either, but not sure they keep their website updated.

ON3 has a billet wheel option for the 88mm turbo, but it's over $900.00.

Don't count out used parts either. I've been running used all used components for the last three years with no issues what so ever. Currently using a Turbonetics T7875 and with my six speed its an animal. I picked it up for $800 with almost no miles on it. Be patient and ready to jump on good deals and save a ton of money versus buying new.

I see Viren (VS Racing) post on Facebook Sloppy Mechanics page pretty regular and I'm almost 100% sure he hasn't released it yet. They did just release the billet S480 clone but not this guy. From seeing Viren's post on FB and the feedback his customers give him, I would have no problem running any of his products. He seems to really stand behind everything.

I've been e-mailing back and forth with VS Racing, and they said the billet 78/75 will be available in a few weeks.

I didnt say anywhere in my post that I ran the billet version. Conversation was going back and forth about several turbos, mainly On3 and VSR, so I posted up my experience having ran 1 of the VSR 78/75. LS1Charged has the correct link.

I'm running the on378/75 and really like it. Cheap and gets the job done. Spools really nicely on my cam 6.0 and made 691 thru an unlocked 80e. I really don't think you can beat it plus it fits really nicely in the tight f body engine bays. I think mine would make a little more but it's blowing through, only have 450 rpm drop.

No official price yet, but he said it will be really close to the 77/83 and 88mm turbo.

I'm going to say 7875 of any make because IMO they are all made in the same place (even Turbonetics) and skip the huge and worthless to you borg turbo. Make packaging easier and its already been proven to make more power than you are shooting for. Plus easier to run exhausts because you can go out the back or side if you want. Wins all the way around in my book.

Done just this with my useless borg, 4" out the back, stock K etc.
It's beyond me why anyone would package their custom kit around a small turbo, most people get bored eventually, and upgrade.
And for the price, try and find a turbo even half as reliable as a BW

Pretty sure I've decided on the VS Racing billet version of the 78/75. I'll have to wait until it's ready, which should be in a few weeks. Viren said that will be more than enough turbo to get me to my goal, and I'll have plenty of room to grow if I want to up the boost.
