Because twin 76mm turbos on E85 is capable of 1500+ HP. Not to mention it wouldn't spool on a 5.3 until 5000 RPM.

Because the turbine is tiny and on a 6.o with LS3 top end its going to choke and you wont even come close to full potential of the combo compared to if you chose the proper sized turbo.

There's a phone number on his eBay page and his website. I called him directly to order my stuff. He's a great guy to talk to and he's super helpful.

Thanks for sharing that man. I am going to attempt to run the 76mm with the .96 ar (thought that was the biggest they had when I ordered last fall) on my LQ4. It should make for a fun street car which is what I am going for. Wonder how much the 88mm will be? Might have to upgrade depending on how this turbo works out. Been working on the car for about 9 months off and on so I think it is time to kick this thing in high gear and get it done.

Get a 70mm with .96ar. My 76mm with .96ar takes light years to spool on my 5.3 although I'm rear mounted. Depending on which cam you have you'll probably spool between 2500-3000rpm with the 70mm.

Thats not the turbo's fault. Its the way you have installed it.
