Best turbo for me
Hey guys I need help finding the best turbo for my application. It is a cammed 5.3 with ported and polished 862 heads. I want to have around 500-550 hp to the wheels and spool rather fast. I don't know much about turbos and the a/r ratio kind of confuses me. Thanks for all the help guys!

Given your specs I'd say stay somewhere around a 76mm with a .96ar or larger AR. Either a TC78, PT7675, s475. Something like that. You don't need a huge *** turbo to make good power on a 5.3. My personal preference is Precision, but people are swinging hard from dat Borg Warner doe.

If going manual i'd strongly suggest the pt7675 cea with a .96 ar especially if you are street driving the thing primarily. It will spool quick depending on the rest of your setup. I like tial bov's/wastegates but not sure whats the best size for you. I'm running a 44mm wastegate and a similar size bov from Tial

any of the 70-76 real or knock off turbos with the 65 exhaust wheel will do it also you could look into the borg s300 line like the s366 all of them should come into power damn fast and make 500 to 600 whp

I'm a fan of Turbonetics turbos, but everyone really has their own personal preference and experience. Mid 70's compressor wheel (75-76mm) will put you right in the compressors sweet spot for your power goal, and you wouldn't need anything over a 65mm turbine to hit that power goal.
