Check EPP there is T.A in customer section 900rwhp or close with same heads but not sure about the turbo size.

Hope it helped.

I dont think you can get a "gt45" in ball bearing form. Is this one found on ebay? If so, its probably jus a standard bearing. Also, a GT45 is a 68mm turbo... way too small for a 408ci... unless you are using 2 of them.

Depends on the manufacture. The MP GT45 is a 68mm journal bearing unit. The Garrett GT45 is a dual ball bearing and we offer it in several different compressor options.

No a GT45 has a 83mm hot side the compressor side is a 68mm.

Definately the wrong turbo for a 408ci.
