I'm looking for the smallest turbos, in terms of physical dimension, for my newest twin turbo setup, that can flow enough for ~600bhp each. Journal bearing or ball bearing doesn't matter, but V-band inlet/outlet on the turbine housing is probably going to be a must. I'm thinking gt35r at this point? Any info/advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick

Standard GT35R's with the Tial V-Band exhaust housings would fit the bill. Your old 60's used a T04E compressor cover with a .60 A/R, the 35R's use a T04S compressor cover with a .70 A/R. It's only a bit larger but it's something to keep in mind

For a 370, the 35r, 66mm or 67mm map out well.
The SC61 should be the same size as your old setup.
A 61mm tnetic's with a 62mm F1 would be about the smallest I'd think for 1200 fhp.

I will never run a masterpower, T'netics doesn't have vband in/out housings afaik, and neither of them are small enough in size. Going with either the PTE billet 5862SP or 6262SP (ported shroud compressor cover) w/ .82 vband in/out

Not a fan of t'netics either. You get what you pay for. Why would I dump tens of thousands into just the drivetrain/powerplant of my car and want to cheap out on something crucial like the turbos? Also goes back to the point of I am only looking for v-band inlets and outlets on the turbine housing.

Two Holset HX35's would flow enough for that, you could use the stock housings and just fab up a flange and be done with it super cheap like with the obvious reliability of diesel turbo's. Search through a cummins forum, find them for super cheap, rebuild them to make sure, then have lots of fun. There is a guy on the dsm forum I'm on that rebuilds them (assuming the housings/wheels are in good shape) for $160, plus shipping and handling.
