Default 408 turbo options will these work?

i can easily get one of these 2 turbos, looking for input on them. been trying to do as much research on them and AFFORDABLE option for me.


1: GT4708 Inducer 80.7mm Exducer 108.0mm 56 trim 1.39 ar guess it was used on a built 2jz motor

2:Tv8101 86mm .81 ar on compressor and a 1.23 AR 91mm 5inch exhaust and a split T6 flange all i know.


Im desperately looking for a damn turbo i can afford for a while till i can afford one from forced inductions, will either of these work well with my forged 408 and custom rear mount setup?

otherwise, what do you guys suggest?

for rear mount? probably the gt4708 would be best. depending on hp goals and what you are using the car for.

car is used for everything from daily to track to road trips. cnc'ed heads, f/i cam, forged bottom. i want to hit the car with 15/18 # of boost. im just afraid of the big ar of the turbos, that i would be limited with spool, even with a qs valve, but i dont know what 408 cubed needs.

I like the GT unit better. For a street car, the old 8101 is a heavy wheel to get spinning. Especially in a rear mount.

I'm either going to use a Borg Warner s475-480 or a hybrid tv75 with an 80mm compressor wheel in my rear mount build. I'm still waiting on the price quote on the tv unit. Based on that I will pick one.
