Default Vsr or on3??

Help with turbo setup. Thinking of getting the sloppy gt45 kit from vsr or the on3 76. Im leaning towards the 76 but heard vsr has good customer service and helps anyway they can. Not looking to set the world on fire just looking for bout 600 horse for cam and springs 5.3. looking for guidance!

On3 76 here. 742rwhp through a Th400 with low timing. No need for customer service, as I haven't needed any since I installed the unit over the 2 years.

Those are probably the worst turbos offered by those two companies.

VS has an entire line of turbos based on Borg Warner turbos that are very good.

LOL JoeNova some people don't want to cut up their cars to fit a Borg Warner sized turbo and on 4th Gen Fbodies there's no room unless you do so the smaller T4 sized turbos are good for that.
It also depends on your goals for your car, for a race car sure, you're cutting the car up anyway to install a cage and other racing equipment so cutting up the core support etc to fit a S480 etc is no problem.

I really wouldn't consider removing a tiny bit of material from the rad support "cutting" a car up.
Standing the rad up looks way better and gives you a ton of room.
A must do for any f car IMO.

To each their own.
