T76 Turbo. Stock LS1

I have a Large Garrett T6 flange with a 1.30 turbine housing and a 76mm compressor side turbo and a stock cubed LS1. I am going to run it at about 5psi and wondering if anyone has any idea about what rpm's I will see full boost at? I don't know how to figure it out and have yet put it on the car. I never did understand those compressor maps. Thanks for any and all help!

a t76 isnt going to be efficient whatsoever at 5 psi. frankly, with a 1.3 hotside, it might reach 5 psi at 6000 rpm. my advice: sell it, and get a correclty sized turbo for your application.

If you are going to turbo it...get one that will fit your need.

At what PSI does the T76 become efficient? I have a T76 install coming up very soon (forged 8.5:1 shortblock being finished up as we type) and I don't really have any idea about which PSI I should shoot for. I'm going back to a stock displacement LT1 from my current forged 383 because of some close friends recommendation regarding the 383 choking a T76. I'm shooting for 600 RWHP with this motor since I think that's all I could get to the ground anyway in this daily driver/weekend warrior. I have access to whatever cam I need(Solid and Hyd rollers setups are in my garage), the ported heads flow 275/195 I/E respectively. I running the T76 w/MPS wheel, powered by a manifold log exhaust. My WG is a Turbosmart 38. My injectors are 60# Mototrons. This particular turbo was spec'd by Forced Inductions for my application. And, the A/R is .96.

air research? I had one witha .96 a/r. it made full boost at about 4k. Pulled like a freight train at 15-17 psi. Car was a total monster.

try and get a different housing if possible.

Thanks for all the replys. I originally bought it for a 434ci but dont have that any longer. So the .96 housing will help alot on this monstor? If not then....well. I have a rebuilt turbo for sale.. Anyone interested?

Or trade for some smaller turbos.

A T76 will not reach 20-30psi on a good flowing LS1. Hell a S88 will make around 28-29psi max on a built LS1. The biggest baddest T4 76mm unit will probably still only make around 20psi max.
