Hey guys, looking for some guidance on my build

stock lq4 with speed inc 1.5TU
t56
pump and meth
looking for 700

So im looking at a couple turbos, and i have my eye on a the BW s475, t6 with the 1.32 housing. Only because its my cheapest option to get a quality turbo.

I see alot of guys using this turbo with great success but its hard to find much on a manual car.

Obviously there is going to be a compromise, and i get that. But i also want to leave myself enough head room in the turbo department if i decide to build a motor.

Anyone have a suggestions? I dont have a set budget for a turbo, but im not looking to break the bank.

I do realize this is a loaded question that really cant be answered with too much accuracy, but any opinions will help.

700 for now, or whatever it makes with in reason. 800?

But in any case, id like to keep some head room for a built motor

I run an s480 on my 6.0 5 speed car. Love it.
if I were you I would pay the extra $$ to get the 1.1 a/r t6 turbine housing for that s475/96. You will love it

Thats encouraging to hear. I did think the 1.32AR was going to be a little too big.

Just so we are clear, we are talking about the 6-800$ borgwarner s475 units, correct?

Yea always leave room to grow.

Theres also the 92mm turbine wheel option... This wheel will flow almost what the 96mm wheel will flow... and its 100+ grams lighter. That reduction in weight would help transient response tremendously with a manual trans car. its a 200 dollar option over a base 96/1.32 unit and is paired with the 1.10 T6 housing. It would support 100% of the 75mm compressor wheel no problem.

I just spent some time talking to John about this over the phone, he had some good info for me and gave me some ideas to research. The 92 with a 1.10 sounds like a good option for manual car on a stock block.

Anyone have any experience with that combo?

I am not 100% sure, but I think I have a 75/92 110AR, T4 on my 6.0 with a mild cam-pretty happy with it, seems to spool good
I have always had Prochargers, so I don't really know fi my spooling is what is considered normal or not-I know the Prochargers had more guts down low,
but when the turbo hits the boost spikes pretty quick-kind of deceptive speed
