Turbine size does matter but it will spool it. Its a bigger than necessary turbine for 1000 hp and under but idk what your goals are. Atleast the backpressure should be little concern. I'd expect them to make boost around 3600 and really move by 4000-4200 rpm. Get the converter to stall in that range to help if an auto car.
If building headers take advantage of the divided housing. Build a 4-2-1 header and match the right cylinders to each half of the divided and it will light off very quick

I also currently have a 65mm turbine and was unsure about the jump to the BW 73 turbine. It seems like a big jump anyways, 8mm. Also the switch from garrett to BW wheel, I was unsure. I would like to hear what jose and lil john have to say.....

Ive used the cast 66mm big turbine wheel with an open .88 with a 5.3. Its got some lag. Converter plays a big part. Ive got 2 diff converters 1 will spool up to 13psi in 2 secs the other takes 5. This is from an idle on the transbrake.
These units make pretty good power. If you dont want at least 1000hp then get a smaller pair

If I do a pull in a high gear I can make say 15psi a little over 3200rpm. Not really representative of normal use though.
In say 3rd gear, simply because the car accelerates faster than load is applied boost threshold is higher more typically around 4-4200rpm for same boost. 2nd gear it would be higher etc.
I cant see any of the factory T4 housings ever posing a restriction to the 366.
On my 364FMW's with the smaller 68mm turbine, under almost all conditions, certainly below 22-24psi I'm around 1:1 EGBP vs Boost
It's only above that boost and say 5500rpm PR rises a little above 1:1

Interesting,
I have not run s366 twins yet, but my car is a street/strip 5 speed, and I am concerned with boost threshold being too high.
I was told that with the.91 housings boost threshold would be aprox 42-4500rpm, and that if I wanted it down ~3500 that I needed slightly tighter ex housings. So I ordered the SS.70a/r (T3)housings. They are in the mail right now, hope to have the twin turbo conversion done for april

Is this just a off shelf cam? I'm running a 5.3 with the 366s but plan on doing a forged 370 in future and would like to buy parts once, you think I should put a stage 4 in my 5.3 till my 370 is built and switch it over
