forcedinductions.com for the s480's are the best deals.

air research is probably a diesel turbo, pics would help. also exducer #'s for the compressor and turbine wheels, doesnt sound too bad, the A/r on the exhaust seem about right for the size's

Depending on room you have T6 is a big flange, meaning the turbo is pretty heavy, but if you shooting for a s480, they are pretty large as well.

I have a brand new 76mm Magnum for sale. It's has a T-4 flange, .96 a/r housing, and a Q-trim impeller. I bought it from Rob at Modular turbo with the intent of doing a single setup on a 5.0. I have since decided to do a twin 72 setup on a 6.0. $800 shipped. Just shoot me a pm.

We have the BW480's for 899.


The Garrett unit is a DDC unit, used for many years and they are tough units. Only problem is they are slow spooling and use much older compressor wheel technology. That 82mm will maybe flow like a current 76, but have tons more lag.
