Mines 10.25 total length, 8.125 ish on the compressor housing and 6.5 on the 1.15 t4 w/79mm turbine.
Is the TC that much smaller?
I don't think the price is $950 though.

$950 is for a TC from Forced Inductions.
Price a GT4508R some time. That's how I found the CT43 during a search.
My cast 80mm was 1600 and I was squaking about the price as it was when comparing it to a S480.

So I took some time over the last few (rainy) days to fab up a 3" pipe to go from the turbo outlet to the intercooler. Before I was just using the 2.5" that I had in there with a 3-2.5 reducer. Since the outlet of the 7875 is 3", I decided just to change all of the cold side to 3" to match.
Well, this doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, but maybe it does, who knows. But now the car is in the 11.5-11.7 range throughout a pull on 14psi. So that's about a half a point leaner than it was at before at the same boost level. And all that's different is the 3" pipe on the one side of the intercooler. The other side was already 3".
Anyways, just thought that was interesting. Granted the temp is ~10* warmer today, but I wouldn't expect that to make me half a point leaner. Anyways, more boost and tuning tomorrow with more updates!
