what is the cold side and hot side sizes on that turbo?

what compression? how much boost and what power do you expect to make?

I'm going to have to guess 90# + injectors... we kind of need to know a power level. the exact size of the turbo will help

i made 650hp and 680tq at 71% duty cycle on 79.6LB/hr injectors on a 5.7 L. I would guess you would want somewhere around the 96# range.

I understand the turbo is a gt4788, but the cold and hot "turbines" have a particular size, and per that size and housing you have a certain airflow, its essentially a centrifugal blower, we have two huge ones that feed gas to our shaft furnace. that particular GT4788 i think according to a google search:
Turbine
-Wheel: 92.7mm w/ 82 trim
-Housing: 0.96, 1.08, 1.23, 1.39 A/R

Compressor
-Wheel: 117.6mm exd./88.0mm ind w/ 56 trim
-Housing: 0.69 A/R

are you building a front mount or rear mount? To make 750whp that is rather big..you will have plenty of room for 900hp range.

race car or street car or half and half? If you want a quick spooling setup, I would step a size down to say around a 80mm ~ 86mm. I would ask advice from other turbo people and look at different peoples builds on here...that honestly just seems overkill to me for the power you want to make
