Well it looks like I can get a Turbonetics Benita for $775 and the
VS Racing 7875 Billet for $556 a deference of $219. Now lol this gets hard now . Get a Benita that's will last a long time but not have the power potential or get a VS Racing that will give me the power but who knows how long it will last. I mean $219 is not much but now I'm scare that the engine will choke with the benita... If this help this is mainly a street driven car that might see the track just once to see what it runs and the rest just have fun in the street.

I'd stay away from that TC76, it is ball bearing, which is nice, but not really worth the money. The only reason I have a ball bearing is because I wanted the F1-75 turbine, and the only way Turbonetic will sell it to you is if you get a BB. The $219 question is the same question many others have been asking themselves. Only you can make that decision, as its your money, and your car. You now are informed.

Benita
pros : proven, warranty, spools fast, compact and light
cons: more expensive, smaller turbine can't flow as much, will make less power

VS Racing 7875
Pros :Cheaper, more power potential
Cons : Limited warranty, not as much history, will likely spool slower with bigger turbine

Either one of these I feel are way better choices than the T72's you originally linked.

Other options that would be decent also include the On3 and VS options with the 78 cast compressor wheel, and the 75 turbine, they run $399. I think they are the same turbo, just different names on the housings.

I can't say enough how much help you guys have been . I really do appreciate the time you guys take for a stranger . We do have a great community

Let me ask you , I got that the 78/75 will outperform the Turbonetics Benita . Even dough I build my engine for turbo with forged pistons and rods I don't see my self pushing my engine to the max in the HP it can handle . If I can push 650 rwhp I believe I would be happy I also don't see my self boosting pass 15 psi... with that been said , at this point would the 78/75 be to much turbo for me and the Benita being a just a about the right turbo for my set up , or im I missing something like how fast it would boost etc . Or this is something that everyone says and they end up pushing the turbo to the max lol .. I also have a 3200 stall with 373 gears

Yep! Ha!

You think my truck fuel rails will work with this turbo and deka 80 injectors

ScottyBG

The rails and injectors should be fine. Got a plan for a return, and boost referenced regulator? Know what you will be using for a pump yet?

Ogoz23

Im using a 460 single walbro with 8 an feed and return line , and a aeromotive regulator with 1:1 boost reference, the fuel pump also has a 6 awg power wire

Ogoz23

Also using a single 44 mm Tial wastegate and a 50 mm Tial BOV

ScottyBG

That should work. You probably only need a 12 gauge feed wire though, 10 max. 12 gauge is good for up to 20 amps.

Ogoz23

Anyone has any pictures on how they cleared the power steering pump with the forward facing truck manifolds. Just want to get some reference on how other guys have done it .

Ogoz23

This return line is welded on the reservoir , I wonder if I can cut it , cap it and utilize the return up top.

thats a hydroboost reservoir, yes you can use either port for a return.

I opted to use two driver side manis, with the one on the driver side flipped up.

You can also run the pass side manifold down and rearward (like stock). Cross over behind the oil pan. Esp if you use 2" piping.

Here it is with 2.5"...

Boostedbrick

I simply cut mine so that I can weld on a v-band and from there a 45 bend to clear it..

Ogoz23

Do you have any pictures on how you did it ? And did you use a 2 inch V-band ?

Ogoz23

I've read I would be good with a single 44 mm Tial waste , should I go with a 50mm JGS, or maybe 60mm wastegate .. is that over kill ... I keep reading people having boost creep and I rather just do it right from the beginning.
