Im using the s475 and standing up the radiator. Its a huge turbo and I plan to run it but it wont be ready til next year since things got pushed back. But this turbo I also had on a lt1 car and made over 800 hp. SO I can imagine this will do the same If I can dial the boost in.

PT-88 would be a better option for fitment. Espescially if you plan to have a new downpipe made anyway as the H.S kit comes with a 3" downpipe.
I know it will fit with minimal effort besides making the downpipe. No need to stand the radiator with it from what I understand.
PT7675 is direct fit with H.S kit as well and can support ALOT more than people give it credit for.
I am not sure what your goals were but if using the H.S kit I feel the more compact Precison turbo would work/fit better than a S475 without standing the radiator.

Any turbo on a T4 flange obviously will bolt up. A PT88 on a T4 barely clears the factory radiator by kicking it forward as much as possible. With that said, if you want to run an S475, I would definitely look into standing the radiator up. Also, you will need to run a new down pipe or modify the one included as the S475 will have a much larger exit than the 3" v-band on the down pipe.
A PT7675 is a direct bolt up to the kit and many people have made killer power with that turbo!
A Comp 7879 is also a direct bolt up to the kit and is rated to 1200hp
Many other "better" options for packaging with this kit rather than going to such a physically larger turbo. I would definitely look into running a PTE7675 or contact me in regards to a Comp 7879! A PT88 or any T4 will fit, but will definitely require a new down pipe or mods to the current, and I would stand the radiator up as well!
For all inquiring more on a budget, I am also currently working with Comp in getting the 7879 made in a more budget model, and it will be a direct bolt up to the kit and have the large 79mm turbine wheel!

I would also definitely HIGHLY recommend you fab up a brace for the turbo as well if you are going with a larger frame T4 like a PT88 or a BW unit. Those turbos are much heavier and it will prevent any issues caused from the increased weight of the turbo!

Dang, the whole reason i liked your kit was that i didnt have to
stand up the radiator. im pretty much talked out of a bw now.
I read on here turbonetics is going to reales a tc76 with a bigger turbine
very similar to the pt7675. Any info on that Jon?

Well the kit was not designed around such a physically large turbo like the bw. Turbonetics s will be doing the 75mm turbine wheel in the current tc series, it is about 1-2 months out. Only kicker is they will only be releasing this in ball bearing to start so price will be a bit higher. I am working with comp right now though to get an affordable direct bolt up turbo with a 75-79mm turbine wheel though!
