the s475 as a single COULD be too big for towing...people have done it. but on a twin set up the 475 as the low pressure turbo works great. call Trent and get the ball rolling :)

IIRC Trents words were that the S475 over the stocker "would tow like a mutha". :D That's what sold me along with the low egts. Can't wait to get the trans done to finally feel what they can do :D

I've towed with mine a few times and loved it. But if your just worried about towing its been said that a s472 might be better because of the faster spool up. I've only towed around 10,000 with the s475 in there and I didn't seem to have any issues though. Way better than just the stocker alone that's for sure.

i tow a cattle trailer 85% of the time but occasionally i will have to haul something heavy for my dad. he pulled this from Kentucky and his truck is bone stock.0820101821.jpg

its the whole reason i put twins on mine, the power is a nice side affect though :D. ive pulled up to 16k so far on these 37s and hardly noticed it uphills. also gained fuel mileage towing and run very cool egts

that sounds pretty kick A! it will be awhile before i can do any big spending though being in college.:( but it gives me time to get the details worked out on what exactly i want put on my truck and what will work best for what i do with it.:thumb:

475 with 1.32 A/R is great for towing in sequential turbos. New sequential turbo kits can be had cheap now that there are so many people producing them.
