Default Chinese 78/75 vs. Borg S475/S480 T4 physical sizing

I was originally going to run a single S366 but I want to make more power.

I'm very limited on room in my E46 but I've always ran borgs and love them.
Does anyone have some size comparison info regarding the Chinese 78/75 T4 turbos vs. the S475/S480 T4 turbos?

I appreciate the help.

they are smaller for sure the compressor housing is the biggest difference of a borg . I think the smaller air cleaner and 3" downpipe is the biggest benefit of the 7875. if you are going to run a borg with a 83 mm turbine then the 78/75 is a good a good replacement with more room.

ok the 7875 is about the size of a volley ball and the t4 s480 with the 96mm turbine is a little smaller than a women's basketball

haha thats the best comparison i can think of

Now was that woman's basketball the type that holds air or ... Cause there is a wide degree of sizing for the latter.
