The DBB GT4508R turbine is the 12 blade turbine wheel that is good for spool up but lacks top end flow. The newer 11 blade LDP 88mm turbine wheel used in the GT45F non-BB flows a little better and costs alot less. But nonetheless its a good charger either way.

The BWA flow more hp per mm inducer wheel. Also when combined and modified for performance apps, they are lethal. We do everything you can imagine with the BWA units. Alot of our units are sold through other distributors so check for the serial tag marked with Borg Warner/Forced Inductions.

for a smaller engine, i'd really recommend a 76gts, or i hear 76mps is along the same lines. i had a 76gts on my 365ci and it spooled and hit like a raped ape. was very happy with that setup

As described the TC76 we sell is faster spooling then the 76GTS, makes great power and is packaged very nicely in a compact design. That is also another unit you may want. Flow is ~92lbs/min.

The new turbo!!!!

Forced Inductions are going to set me up with a ST80, AR 1.1, T4. My goal about 750-800rwhp can be achived, but there is not much room for improvement which is alright with me, for now...
Though i was looking at a GT-42, or 45, but apperently this turbo is better for my application, boost around 3400 and max boost around 3900.
Any input before it gets ordered?

Yes that would be my choice if you want a little room to grow. We are using the same exhaust side on a GTO we just did but with a 74mm wheel. It comes in by 3000 and hits full on before 4k. We will try to dyno it Friday, I will post a graph.
