Interested to see what this combo makes power wise. What made you choose the S375? I have my mind set on the same setup just curious as to your thought process as it compares to mine.

Sounds about dead on to what I am looking for power wise. I have a good friend that has gone through a few different BW's. Started with a S362 and then onto a S364, ended up with a S368, turbos were on a 1.8l VW engine and a VR6 2.8l VW engine. Always worked great, made awesome power and were cheaper than the comparable Garrett units.
Best of luck with the build, hopefully I can get rid of my DRZ400SM soon and pick up some parts so I can get started with my build.

That would have been cool but I have something else in store for the poor I6. My buddy has a roller notch but no motor or tranny. I offered the motor/tranny, we should be putting it in there and beating it up.

I haven't bought the adapter/flex plate yet because I am still unsure what transmission I'm going to use. Torn between a Th400 and 4l80e.
I am going to use the Borg Warner s375 I have. Monster of a turbo but should be fun!

Had a little trouble putting the K-member in. The two small inner bolts at the rear K-Member didn't fit up. (can't really expect it to fit right in, the fox chassis changed over the years). I got smaller bolts, fits fine now. I will have updates soon. Trying to snag some tubular A-Arms before I reassemble the front suspension.
I'm also trying to decide what transmission to go with. I want to keep it streetable (over drive). I'm trying to weigh my options but also stay with a budget.
