Don't know much about the Precision PT88 but it looks like a physically fairly small turbo is that true? Also does the PT88 come with different exhaust wheel sizes or is it a basic configuration type turbo?

I'd say that turbo is too small for a 408, if you are dead set on the Borg warner, at least do the s480, should be same price if i'm not mistaken. But for a budget turbo for a 408, I would definitely do the GT88 or GT91 from forced inductions, they're a few hundred dollars more than the BW, but would definitely be better for that size motor and make quite a bit more power.

As far as budget minded, the borg warners and those budget garret units are your best bet (I'm going to be purchasing the GT88 for my build). I didn't realize the s475 was only $650, figured it was around the same as the s480.
