I built an A4 370 TA with a billet 42-76 last year for a buddy. It was an awesome setup. I really loved it on the street. The 1.01 housing that came with the turbo was junk, with holes in the casting. Precision sent us a new hosing but they only had the 1.32 in stock. No noticeble loss in spool, it was still near instant. Just an awesome combo on the street. BUT.......keep in mind that was through the auto, it really rounded out the package.
It is a good turbo for a 370 in my opinion.
