help me pic my turbo. Well I think I have my tc76 sold. And will be ordering a new turbo soon... right now I am leaning towards the st80 with billet wheel and 1.10 ar. Dr turbo says 9s will be no problem for my setup and that turbo.. here is a run down.
04 gto hope to stay under 4000 lbs
Forged 347. And va speed turbo cam
Goin to run afr heads. 225s or 230s if. I buy them new.
4l80e. 3400 circle d verter... gforce engineering rear end parts and coilover kit...
The goal is to go strong 9s in the car. And get in the mid 140s trap speed.
Give me ur input guys. Think I am on the right track for the turbo... seems to be a good size and not to huge. But makes big power and spools decent..
This is goin to still be a street car but will not be a daily driver so I still want some good spool...
Thanks guys!

Yeah you're tc is sold 
It will fit real nice under my Jimmy.
I didn't think you had room for a BW???
If you were closer, I'd let you try my CompTurbo 80mm.
It's 10.25 long and 8.125 round on the compressor with 79mm T4.
Little expensive compared to a box BW.
I'll post a pic of it next to the TC when I get it.
They make a PT80 along with the PT88.

Also from what I have seen on here. The pt88 isn't much smaller the the st80... and from what I have seen. St80 should make the power and spooler quicker...
More input guys.. thanks!

Look up Perdieu, he went high 9's on a 76gts in his gto and wasn't even leaning on it. If you have it setup correctly I'd think a precision 76(billet) would get you there and fit a lot easier.
Travis - I still think the 76GTS is a hell of a turbo for a more compact setup. We've both seen under the hood of that thing. You did say you wanted AC and it to be a "street" car, remember? lol
