Borg Warner turbo's

Any opinions on Borg Warner turbo's? There seems to be a lot available so there may be a reason why. Does anyone know?

i have a S380 with a billet wheel, and love it, and the 275 class on the east coast uses a S476r pretty frequent. those turbos are designed to be on 200k mile service life vehicles.

They are awesome, reliable, affordable turbo's and they flat out make power.

Plenty of options too.

S472, S474, S480 seem very common. They are popular because they are affordable, have nice big turbines, and are seemingly bulletproof.
