Sorry got a little hasty with the"X". But here's the link for the GT3788R.

Got ya. I actually have a gt3788r that I'm debating putting on my truck in place of my s366.

Would it be worth going to a billet wheel in the hp turbo? Currently it's a cast s362. It's going in to get upgraded to a 360 thrust bearing. Shane n i discussed on leaving it cast. Don't know if it's worth the $

I'd say the 40-50hp gain isn't worth it unless you want every bit of power possible.

This is slightly irrelevant but I ditched a billet wheel in my 66 and put on a cast borg wheel and the cast wheel is worlds better. The cast wheels are great and I seriously doubt you'd see a big difference if any at all. Have you considered a fmw turbo?

He's already got the s362. If he went billet it would be a forced inductions wheel not a borg billet wheel

I wouldn't bother. Your big turbo is going to make the power. What you'd probably notice on a lighter wheel is spool up, but in a compound set up with a hp turbo that small you're going to be in great shape the way it is. The hp turbo is going to be well in its efficiency range the way it sits.

yeah that's exactly what shane n i came up with. people seem to love 66/88 and mine being a 62/80 it should be pretty quick spooling. thanks

Yes sir. You may even want to upgrade to an 88 in the future if you end up wanting more power. The 66 in my set up I think it what's holding it back from me thinking it's perfect. If I can increase my spool and boost numbers under light acceleration and light throttle just a tiny bit I'd be pretty happy, it's just a matter of choosing a turbo that'll spool a bit better and not lose overall power.
