holley mid rise fitment
thanks! will do im in the middle of cutting things up making things fit and making space for the turbo see when i have the chance of pulling it off to measure and see. thanks guys i really appreciate the help. i definitely don't want a turbo dog...
I've tried running the numbers on line but all i get back is the s480. thats running the cold side numbers but comes back as a t6 not t4. nothing comes out with hot sides numbers. i haven't had the time to get on here or check the wheels size. been a little busy around the shop...

Bad new is that turbine is pretty damn small for your 6.0 with a t4. Honestly that is an 83x75 turbine. Im putting two of those on my 6.2. That is not the best turbo for a single combo on a 6.0. It would work ok on a 4.8 maybe even a 5.3.
id sell that turbo and buy you a s475 96mm even though its a 75 instead of an 80 it will allow you to make more power. Sorru for the bad news.

I dont see a 6.0 having trouble spooling unless he had the wrong cam in it. If he had say a na type cam in it then it could spool lazy. With a stage 2 you are gonna have high back pressure it will most likely spool ok. Power wise i think youll choke the exhaust so it will be a wierd curve. I tuned a guy who tried a 7666 turbonetics on a 6.2 it made like 565 hp but low rpm like 4500 and then dropped off and 750 ftpd torque. It just seemed uncomfortable and he drove it that way till he could buy a s475 96mm t6 and we reworked his kit to fit it and he was tons happier. Your turbine is bigger but i think youll choke it before you make 650. I coukd be wrong but that comp with that turbine is not a good combo for a single imho

I feel like i should be more clear the turbo isnt horrible for your car but pair it with a to large cam and it is. Go with a stage 1 or someyhing of that size and that turbo will be alot happier and you wont be dissapointed. My opinion stage 1 or stock cam is good 83mm or 87mm stage 2 is 92mm to 96mm and stage 3 is when you go big turbine 100 or more or bigger twins. With an 83mm turbine id want no overlap at all in my cam. Call any of the cam companies and with your turbo and your engine size i believe they will tell you the same.
Thank you for the help man I really apréciate it. will I get to hit my hp goal of 800whp on say the stage 1 and this turbo ?
had some phone issues and i haven't been able to get on here. this turbo was a t6 originally and my boy sent to get changed to a t4. that's why i asked if it would be better to go with a bigger hot side we have a reputable turbo local builder who was who change it to a t4. id change it back to a t6 before going threw all of the work if its going to work for me.
im new too all of this and thank you for your time. i was going to build something out of wack but not any more. im a little more informed thanks to you bud thanks again. i will most probably run this one for a little while see how much power i can get out of it and then just go from there. a flange changed shouldn't be all too bad later on so can i expect at least 600 650 for now? i have an las9 cam an ls2 cam and a stock 5.7 cam and the N/A cam 233/239@ 113lsa just laying there. thinking of selling the 233/239 not even 500 miles on the thing.
