Do you think the 76 will fit in the same place as a precision T4 based 72? My clearance to the radiator is about nothing, the turbo is only about 3/4 inch from the fans!!

Kurt, yes it will fit right in. Give us a call if/when you need one.

Yes Kurt it should not be a problem, give Jose a call he will set you up. Now you can go all the way to 78mm.

DrTurbo, you're not looking to do a group purchase on these any time soon are you?? haha.. I may have to get one of these bad boys... Do you think that the back pressure would be okay on a 370ci pushing somewhere between 15-18psi?? It's on the 78mm... Thanks, Chris

Backpressure shouldn't be to bad at all. Just run the larger .96A/R, or go up to the twin scroll 1.15, 1.32 or 1.52A/R

That sounds good... I want something that's realitively fast spooling so I would probably go with a .96A/R...

How many would you need to get to do a GP??

PM'd ya... save some time and hassle and don't want to steal the thread..

Back pressure should be fine on a 370 running that boost we run 15 like its a walk in the park.

Yes the truck is from Ft. Wayne.
