I love this crowd... theres so many posts for 800hp ect that all end with "on a budget" lol.

Dont mean anything bad by saying that only because somehow people do it on these motors.

Oh yeah im sure you end up with the best you could get for your senerio even though your hoping someone can show you where to get it for cheaper. Lol its inevitable. Atleast these motors have proven themselfs to make it worthwhile. Btw, i have complete turbo kit for CHEAP but its a bw s472 which you may want bigger.

I would start with a borg s480 with the 96mm turbine and 1.32 housing and if you need more jump it up to the 88 or something in that range. Just my .02

I'm building almost the same motor. Forged 6.0, 9.8cr, E85. I'm going with twin Comp billet 6067's because I wanted the snappy, instant throttle response on the street, and enough turbo to make 750-850rwhp or more if I want. If you'd rather have max top-end hp, then most people go with a big single.
