I don't have an S-484, but I do have an L92 w/ an S-480. It's a billet wheel V3 with a 96mm 1.10 a/r. I have a 2" hot side and a full 4" exhaust with muffler. It has a JFR cam in it and a 4L80 trans with a tight PTC converter. I'm only able to footbrake to 3000 rpm on the two step, but as soon as I let go of the brakes boost climbs to 11 lbs (wastegate spring) fairly quick. I still have quite a bit of tuning left to do, so I hope to improve this.

I have an RPS 4" thick 24" x 12" Core, 3" inlet/outlet, intercooler. The car weighed 3450 w/ me in it (the LTD in my sig). I'm going through the car now and removing some weight, but it still has ac, ps, pw, pb, bench seat etc.

not meaning to thread jack, how much bigger is the S484 than the s480 dimensionally speaking? How much wider is the compressor cover?

I can't see it being much bigger, I've never had a s480 so I'm not sure of the size difference.

You have the same options for compressor cover sizes on both turbos. So, none, or a lot.

If both units are equipped with the same housings... there is zero difference in physical size.
