my gt-88 from forced inductions worked very well if your doing a T6 kit. Made 1000hp about the same compression as you with ease

Pick up a Borg Warner turbo, either 87mm or 91mm, they are less than $1500 new, and if you pick the right one, you can get it for less than $1000 new.

That new Precision Billet wheel 88mm is a nice unit for the price, Especially for those with limited space. Just released this month(Nov 1st)

$1249 is right in the budget. What are the physical dimensions of the turbo itself. And what a/r is that exhaust housing?

Im running a th400 with a 3200 stall
