I honestly figured it would be be same on low boost but really start carrying the power when you pour it on, I guess we will see how it does when I turn it up, for now I'm just enjoying having it move under its Own power lol

When do we get do know pricing on this s480 clone?
I keep thinking those legit BorgWarner s475's at $650 shipped might be a good investment....
And congrats on being back on the road!
Does sound great.....

I still can't believe they're going to be that cheap.

S475 is the same exact way, I love it.

Does the clone S480 have extended tips on the compressor wheel? Need a dyno showdown between the real deal T6 cast S475 and the new S480.

I'd love to see that. I'd even kick in $10 to see it. If everyone watching did the same it would easily cover an S475.

Wouldn't it be more logical to test an S480 vs clone S480?

I think they're comparing turbos with similar cost, not size. I'd say an s480 vs the clone wouldn't even be close.

i started my venture into junkyard turbo ls junk a couple years ago after seeing the crap that you made work. i have now worked up to a fully forged 408 lq4 with a billet bw s484 on 23psi. (that thing makes some steam)

one of my combinations was a plain gen 3/4 lq4 with a cam and cast s480. that thing went like stink! untouched heads with a small tick cam, truck int. and a cast s480, intercooled no meth and pump 92 did 817 spinning the tires on the dyno at 15 psi.

if that knock off turbo even comes close to a real 80 mil borg, that truck is gonna grow wings by 15-17 psi! you should have enough fuel for it. turn that thing up and let it fly!

Was the crank hurt in the old lq4?

yes, just the counter weight portions where it blendered the broken rods against the mains, internally not at all
