Is that the "OG" gt45? they tap out around 550 wheel in my experience.

I'd bump to the 7875 were it me. Makes for a really fun street car.

yep. some little stuff like needing the angled oil drain, the compressor outlet is 2.5" are different, but and the turbine outlet is 3"

I put my old 7875 on my friends' bone stock 5.3 to replace his gt45 and it turned a fun car into an absolute blast.
