I remember years ago this section balked at the idea of a Borg Warner turbo. They're too big, they're too heavy, precision this precision that. Guys are finally coming to the realization that huge power can be had at a very reasonable cost with a borg turbo. It just takes a little finesse to fit one where you want it, but I see that as a small price to pay for great quality, great power and lower initial cost for the turbo.

I pushed the hell out of these turbos before I worked at tick and I will continue to do so. Anyone needs one let me or Jose know and we'll get you fixed up.

For anyone out there who is thinking about this upgrade I've got nothing but good things to say thus far. Hell, they actually answer their phone, that's a rarity in this business it seems!


Ran a 5.67 on the s475 with the gates pinned shut on a 370 w/stock heads on 93+meth, can't wait to see what the FI billet S480 can do!
The 5.67 run with the s475 on the 370, what kind of boost level are you seeing? Curious because I too plan on building my backup 6.0 and I have a S475 on my ls1 now. When I get engine done id like to gate pinned also. But have know clue what boost the turbo will push. Its the standard s475, 96mm turbine, 1.32a/r.

Thanks
