This would be a good all around turbo kinda like a cheeta. You could always add twins later on down the road PPE should have there kit for this turbo about ready. Also makes it nice this is a new turbo so no core is needed and all is new inside.

This looks sweet for drag racing and pulling, but what about towing? I"m looking for a way to keep EGT under control/ keep stock pistons alive while adding some much needed power for towing through the big interstate hills out west and around the rockies. Think Baker Grade - I've struggled to maintain 50 mph with the stocker without letting EGT get past 1250. When other rigs pulling trailers blow by like I'm standing still, I lose my mind.

How heavy are you towing? We have taken Blue over the "Baker Grade" several times towing a enclosed 28 ft trailer with Casper and golf cart and have never had to slow down to 50 mph because of EGT's. The trailer weight is certainly over 14,000 lbs.

Towing about 15K trailer. I would pony up for twins but the simplicity of this unit plus the cost/ benefit ratio makes it very attractive. I can afford to either twin with the stocker OR do this unit, but not both.

Add the "bolt on" factor, and if it could sustain 450 rwhp under 1250*, then it's a slam dunk for me. Sustainability is key - all the HP and TQ in the world doesn't matter if I have to take my foot out of it to keep a stock bottom end alive.

How do you think this turbo would work combo'd with a s480 W/race cover? Would it be a noticable improvement over a 64 or 66 s300?

If you already have a S366 setup with a S480 I would stay with that. I was thinking about trying this with GT4718 setup but think if I do any changes it will be a GTX4202R as a single then add a GT5533R later.
