Default What turbo for 408 rearmount?

I want to make about 800rwhp. I have a 408 rearmount turbo with a t70. Its a 6spd. its making about 625rwhp at 8psi right now. How would a st76 work? Or would a gts76 work better? Or should i go bigger? Ive looked around theres not much info for rearmounts making this much power so i would appreciate your input.

ST76 would make more power and would spool the same as the 76GTS, but the packaging is a little larger. We have the 76GTS's as well and they are great units.

^ i know a few rear mounts that make power in that ballpark.
my goal is 500-550 rwhp (with bone stock ls2) and will be using
either a gt60 or gt67. at @ 8 psi
so my guess is your on par with your goal...
any pics of your setup? and good luck!

We used a 76GTS on a 408 butt mount car, it had a .81 EX housing. The top hp number was right around 700rwhp on 11#.

Spool was somewhat an issue, boost came on around 3800-4000. This was majorly due to having the SLP long tubes and a full 3in exhaust.

Going to a 4in downpipe made a huge diffrence though. Even though its a small run, the stocker 3in was a big restriction.

ST76 is about 1" larger on the comp cover. The unit with a 1.10A/R would spool fine.

I have a gts 76 numbers in the sig. How the hell did you get 625 on 8#? Best mine did was around 590. And I would go with a st80 due to the fact my tq falls off at 6600 rpm.

I would go with the 80 even though I think they are little tooo big for a rear mount ,the bigger turbo is needed with the 408

I'd personally go with an 88mm if I had a 408, but I use an automatic transmission.
