tinkerd on here has a done, M6 4788, and I was impressed with it.
408 iron and 317s, pump gas, no meth, 13* IIRC he made 800/800 on 14/15 psi-
race gas and 20 psi, same timing, made 900.
If he adds timing and a bit more boost, itll make 1000 no problem.
Do a search, and it should give you a good idea.
It doesnt seem to light until 3800-4200, so keep that in mind. Its like a smaller 67mm on a supra, takes a bit to get lit, then its full steam.

Yah I did, Precision told me 1.08
For some reason I think I should go bigger and then tinkerd told me he has a .96
So I have no clue I'm flip a coin and see what happens

I would go with the 1.08 if that is what Precision told you. You have to understand my motor has more done to it. With AFR 225 heads. So you're not compare apples to apples. I am thinking the larger the A/R the more lag you will get. So 1.08 is what I would do. If you are going to play on the street. With what you have, that is what I would do. Now if you comment to track only I would say go bigger and get a trans brake and 2 step. To aid in laughing it.

Are you using the gt4788? What A/R is yours? What computer are you using? It is my understanding that the bigger you go with the A/R the more lag you will see. If it is to much for what you have. Being that yours is a 434CI you wouldn't have to much lag at all. But as I said previously, I was told this stuff a long time ago so my input might be wrong. I think I am right about that tho. It's hard to compare with konceptracin setup. A 434Ci VS a 408CI That's a bit more motor than a 408CI. I would like to hear more about your setup. PM me with the 411 on it.

My point that I trying to get at is this. If the turbo or A/R is to big and he has problems getting into boost. It just won't be no fun. If he is doing a track only car heck yes go to a gt55.

turbine housing is easily changed, if you dont like it.
.96- Tight A/R turbine housing, in relation to singles. Will spool quickly, but top end power will suffer.
1.08, 30-40 hp difference, with little laggier boost ramp, carries top end a little further.
1.36 Noticeable difference in both spool and power production at high RPM. turbine flows much better than .96, however, due to this, we lose the ability to light it at low rpm.

Yeah the housing can be changed, that's the good part!
I'm thinking about going in-between the .96 and the 1.36 and see what happens!

hi mate i,m running a 408ci iron block setup with a bw s400 with the 1.32 ar rear and reckon its spot on comes on around 3000rpm and just pulls like a train !!! as you said if its mainly for the track !!!! 1.36 ar !!!! cheers

A/r is only one factor. Turbine size is another. The bw 96mm 1.32 with a 88 compressor won't spool the same as a 1.36 housing on a gt4788. Another thing people talk about on the 4788 is the back pressure and that the turbine wheel is too small to suport the compressor

800 on 15 lbs and 900 on 20lbs that turbine is done. 5 psi boost for 100 wheel. The 408 is too much motor for a .96 ar 92mm turbine of the gt4788 to get its full potential.
