From what I have gathered, twins are not really needed for street. It is going to be the common 6.0 stock bottom end build that lots are doing. I am only shooting for a 6-650 whp which I thought was easily doable with lower boost. I want the thing to be reliable and still be my main fun toy since im selling my motorcycle. (oh and OD is nice too hah)
The Turbo is a BW s475 with a 83mm turbine 1.1 ar ratio. it was about 700 which I thought was a dcent price for a well known mfg. I was going to originally go with a ebay special but I decided not to. With the smaller 1.1 ratio it is supposed to spool much better for the street and since I am not in it constantly I will not really have to worry about it restricting.
here is my current build log: the recovered items could have been more but the wife wanted her spot back and the 2 stall is crowded already. so I had to give away and axle, tires, full truck utility service box, doors (rolling chassis) for about 200.
-1700 Old motor trans "recover"
1800 base donor truck
-2100 recovered
700 Cam/springs/kit
100 head gasket
700 Turbo
330 head clean/machine/valves
130 timing chaing/gears
300 all other gaskets
100 lifter
130 pump
100 trunion
590
