Default 5.3 T56 Turbo Choice

Looking for a turbo that will be very responsive/spool quickly, and be able to run up to 850-900whp. Car will be manual.

Build:
5.3 forged rods/pistons
TFS heads
intake is undecided (vic jr with elbow, pro flo xt, ls6?)
huron speed kit
Prefer T4
93/meth, possible race gas tune to push it


I have looked at a 7675 billet wheel, gen2 7675, S476R was suggested, S480 billet 92/1.25 also.

I've seen a 484 mentioned but I have only found a 482 on Borgs catalog, is that a custom billet deal?

My tuner has a good deal on an 8884, he thinks that with some rpm will work real well. Really leaning that way right now. Have some time to decide still. Lots of options with turbos it could make your head spin

Thanks! I'll have to look into it.

With the combo I think an 88-90mm would be a good choice.

Doesn't "with some rpm" completely disagree with the very responsive/quick spool requirement you first stated?
