I'm kind of teetering for my DOHC 4.4L V8 between trying to fit and support the massive eBay GT45 (68/77 or whatever the normal ones are), or moving to something physically smaller like one of these or even an On3 76mm with a big wastegate to avoid back pressure buildup... Any thoughts?

The on3 7665 will make 600 all day long on stick car. Not sure what this 4.4 engine is you speak of?
It's a BMW engine, BTW, but discussion of China turbos on BMW forums doesn't seem to go over very well..... Lol

When I switched to a Turbonetics 7875 the car spool'd the same and made 60 rwhp or so more on the same boost level. Also, power didn't drop off near as hard up top which was to be expected.
There are threads all over the web about on3 turbos but very few posts about how long they have lasted.
If enough people have 4,000-5,000 miles on an on3 turbo I'd be willing to run one and save the money. If many are failing under 3,000 miles I'll just spend the money for a better turbo the first time.
There's just something appealing about making cheap stuff work though lol.
sure the on3 has a 78mm wheel but a billet 69mm ought to flow just as good
difference in turbine wheel is not much either and if i had to bet, even though the borg warner is smaller, it likely flows more
SXE 369 specs
Compressor wheel 69x91.44
Turbine wheel 73x80
i believe i read it flows somewhere around 96lb/m so roughly 900-1000hp capable.
