S472 spool up?

[06dmax]

Really having a tough time deciding what turbo to go with any one in the new jersey or even just eastern elevation area running a 472 cast wheel just wanna no what mods you guys are running with it and how you like it also the spool up on it thanks any input isgreat!

I had one at 5000 ft elevation. I didnt like it much. It was too laggy for me but it towed 10k lbs to Alaska. Top end was great but 5th gear was a no go for towing. Stock fuel system too when I had it.

I'm at seal level and mine spools pretty damn quick. Stock injectors and stock cp3.

for a little more you can upgrade to a billet wheel or have someone send you one, it will spool a lot better than cast..

mine spools pretty decent
it is a little laggy but i really like it
i do have a billet wheel and 60 over sticks tho

Why? Are they cheaper? Have you ever ran one?

One very important thing being over looked is the size of the intake for these turbos
on 71mm and larger chargers. I found out quickly that a standard size intake (3.75"- to 4") hinders these turbos (64-66mm may not be effected as much) on spool up time. I dropped about 400rpm on my GT42 when I went to a 5". A fat chick on a tricycle could have beat me across a intersection if I wasn't spooled at take off before. I'm at 6K elevation however and it also helps at lower elevations too. The 71mm I ran (A5k that I trashed) spooled way better at lower Rs as well.

Turbos are just pumps after all. As true with all pumps, they are better at pushing than pulling.

ive driven a s475 non wastegated with a billet wheel and thought the spool up was very good. i mention the garrett turbo because its a ball bearing turbo and i like garrets plus the waste gate helps too. the elevation here in vegas is 2k

they are more expensive than borg turbos

I've got a billet S475 which I'm told spools really close to the same as a cast S472. It took a little getting use to but with a good TCM tune it works very well. If you tow maybe 8k plus often I would get something smaller, but I tow 4-5 k almost daily with no issues. I just tow in 5th gear which helps allot. I'm really close to sea level also, and buy the way the S400's rip on the top, you'll love it for daily driving!

Ball bearing turbos are overrated imo

 

[cafryer]

you can get a pedistal with a wastgate port and just use a aftermarket one.

 

[06dmax]

any one happen to got a s472 for sale with a pedistal?? or even just the turbo?
