Correct we sell the BWS400-72 and 75mm versions for those apps. Like TJ said, they will work very well.

S400's are t6 flanged but are great bang for the buck just a little on the big side.

Your web site says that there is a t4 housing option, what kind of restriction does that put on say the 72mm? Also what size DP does the t4 housing accommodate?

Yes we carry the T4 option units as well. As far as restriction.....typically will limit the map by 2-10% based on the cubes of the motor. To many variables to say it effects it by X amount.
