Default Innovative T76 or Phamspeed custom GT42???

I am torn. I have an offer for a used Innovative T76 with a .96 A/R and I can pick up one of Phamspeed's GT42s with the custom T4 turbine housing and 4" discharge for the same price, but I can't decide which is the better option.

I know the new GT series is more efficient, but I also know that the T76 is a tried and true method to big HP in the LS1. Someone please help

EDIT: also, does anyone know what size the exhaust discharge on the "custom T4 turbine housing" Phamspeed offers on their GT42 is? I got an email response saying they didn't know if it was a "normal" 4" v-flange...

What would be a good used price for the ITS T76 with 5000 miles on it...the turbo that came with the TTi kit.

All I know is that it has a P-trim, and it is not BB

P-trim? I wouldn't even touch it. You would need a Q-trim at minimum, and even then you'll be choking the exhaust. I would run an S-trim

BTW, I do sell T76 turbos as well.

Well if the GT42 is new and the T76 is used then I would go for the new. Thats just me. Why pay for something someone else used when you can be the first.

If the Phamspeed GT42 used an off the shelf v-band flange for the exhaust discharge, I would buy that one in a heartbeat, but the person I am corresponding with through email doesnt know if it is... maybe someone here knows...

If its a p-trim, then I would pass. Also if you go with the GT42 standard version (94mm), its only a 70mm turbo and the (102mm) version is only a 74mm. I would go 76GTS, which uses 76mm front side with a GT42/S turbine wheel.
