Help choosing a turbo for a daily Hello my turbo freinds im building a daily driver / weekend warrior 4.8 with a 4l80 behind it. stock comp with a sumit 8715 ghost cam, springs, push rods, and summit pro series converter (2600-2800 stall). Looking to get 500-600hp (plus some extra room to grow) out of it. The turbos im looking at are the VS racing 72/65 billet, 76/65 billet, or the 7875 cast .96ar trying to stay in the $500 range. Came across some borg warner units to but they seemd on the small side. This is my first turbo V8 build im use to doing 4 cly cars.
Thanks
Thanks
I'd go billet 7665. It'll light off super fast and be fun on the street with a 4.8. Go with the .96AR. Power won't be as big up top, but it'll sure be fun around town. There won't be much head room though. If you want head room, I would go bigger like a billet 7875 off ebay for $280.

How much room do you want to grow over 600? Nice thing about the 4.8 is you can spin it to the moon.
Get a dual vband turbine if you want fast spool, the .96 dual vband 7875 unit below is $555 for billet and $439 if you want cast, either will meet you needs and then some and comes with flanges.

My Forced Inductions S480 / 87mm in the Classifieds would have good manners and performance on that Engine. Low IATs at 700 rwhp because we all know he isn't going Turbo and 550-600!
I'd put a 76/75 CEA Precision or one of a bunch of variants of the 78/75 on that one otherwise.

Dang wish i saw the jeg converters before i got the summit one might have to look into those. My current goal is 500 to start and see how that is.
lol, you wont stay at 500hp long. I say skip all the bs and get the 7875....you'll end up going to it later anyways and if you have the afr and timing dialed in good transitioning to boost, it'll still light off plenty fast enough. My 5.3 with the same cam and a 7875 has almost no lag once i figured out it like alot of timing right before going into boost. I think your stall is too small though. I have a 3600 and its just right. Drives like stock.
