Pick me a turbo, T76, TC78, T78 or other? I'm sure this has been asked many of times. Just a turbo is a big investment and just want to buy a turbo for my car one time. I've tried to call Forced Inductions.Com.. (site sponser) But they must be on vacation. So heres my combo. I have a 317 headed ls1 that I will forge or go with an ls2 in the future so I want room to grow. My goals are 550+ maybe 650 or more once its forged. So the TC78 is smaller then the t78 and t76 but will support as much as a t76 right? So what turbo and a/r will be good for me? I was thinking a TC78 w a 1.10 a/r. Anyone have ideas? Thanks a million

The compressor cover is what is different about the TC, T, GTM, and Super T turbos. I believe I put the order correct in size from smallest cover to largest. As the compressor size increases, so does max airflow it can do. A TC78 will support what you want it to though.

Figured out once going on with Modular Turbo, I guess his Website was hacked...He's getting it fixed now. Nice guy. Called me back like 15min later.
