Default best turbo to replace 76GTS?

i'm going to upgrade my current setup since i don't think i'll have the new car built in time for next season. what 88mm will be the closest fit to the 76GTS? i can change the flange out to a T6, but i'm afraid there won't be enough room for a T6 turbo in the current location. any help would be appreciated. here's the space i'm limited to:

s400- (nonsponser url removed)

u can't beat the price + u can upgrade the compressor wheel.

Call Jose at Forced Inductions. Their turbos will outperform the above turbo and they have a bunch of options.

I talked to jose yesterday and decided on the s91 for my setup. How much did your wheel upgrade cost you?

I agree about calling jose. He is very knowledgable and helpful. He may even be able to make something custom for you if you want.

Easiest to get in would be the PT88 T4.

ok, i appreciate the info, but i guess what i should've asked is which turbo will be better than the 76 i've got but be able to fit in the same location. the S400's don't seem to be an upgrade to the 76GTS. in fact, the 76 is good to around 1100 from what i remember. any other ideas? i'll probably give jose a call, but if you guys can throw some more options out, i'd appreciate it.

HUGE!!!!seriously phyically huge,not near the size of a T76GTS.a PT88 is the next step up and biggest T4 flange precision was offering.

i'm still gonna give jose a call, but it's looking like the pte is the way i'm gonna go. i've been extremely happy w/ the 76GTS, but it's just too small for my cubes. we've pretty much maxed it out with this setup and i'm not even competetive w/ the guys around here. i could gut the car since i'm about 400 lbs overweight for the class, but that's why i've decided to build another car. just want this one to run a little better than 6.5x in the 1/8th. as for the turbo, it's being test fitted onto a cobra and i believe he's planning to buy it. if not, it'll be posted on here first. thanks for all the input guys.
