Nice Nova
Mine is also L33, 799 heads etc.
Runs in the 8’s with a much smaller BW 76mm turbo. S476 with billet compressor wheel.

I’m no turbo expert, but 88mm sounds really big?

I want a t6 flange turbo. And 80-88 gets me at least in the ballpark

I'd just run a cast BorgWarner S480. It will make the power you're looking for and won't break the bank.

I would avoid the chinese clones, but people do have good luck with them.

The S476 is a T6

Check out Forced Inductions.

They have all the BW T6 models

What kind of power do you make on that? I have a T4 S476 with a 96mm turbine and 1.10 from FI. Going on my manual C6 Z06 with a SBE 5.3

You should be able to make an easy 800whp with that not even pushing it that hard.

Even though I run a dyno, mine hasn’t been on it.
The Wallace calculator says 900+ to the wheels. Just shy of 157mph @ 3450lbs. And not very aero. 24psi E85

Thank you for the info. I'm under 3,000lbs in a C6 Z06. I was told I should be able to trap up near 170mph with it turned up. Not much of a track guy, so not sure that's possible or not. First venture into the turbo game.

Very cool. Those cars are light.
I’ve also got a C5. It’s closer to 3300lbs. No turbo but will get a 6.2 this winter.

Are you stick shift then?

The TerminatorX is capable, bit if you're going to do fancy boost control strategies and have a bunch of extra I/O, the Dominator would be a better option.
