The S400 is essential a turbo that diesel's use, and can be used with any car. It is a 74mm turbo with a large turbine side (1.32 A/r), very similar to a GT42 turbo. Not sure if you can get different turbine housings for the S400 turbo like you can with a GT42. We still dont know about the cubic inch of your motor and what hp or track goals you have. I think S400's around $600 right? Its a nice cheap turbo, but its heavy as hell, large in outside dimensions and probably will be a bit laggy depending on your combo.
I'm pretty sure there are people who sell the S400 with a T4 flange but as soon as it gets the T4, the price goes up to almost 1000 bucks! I have also run across good deals on S400 where you can pick one up for ~400.
Thanks for your input. BTW, I am the one who bought your old slp turbo headers.

Yea sorry about the detail on the motor. I was planning on a 355 to once again keep the budget down. I am not looking to make 1000rwhp perhaps 800 on race gas and around 600 on pump. My intake is also ready for direct port and I actually have a direct port kit but I just have not installed it yet. So if there is a little bit of lag then I can run a small shot to get by. I also don't mind spinning the motor to 6500+ rpms which can help with the lag too.

good work on your project Eric. Your kit looks awesome. Hurry up and finish it! haha.. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pick up that turbo for and how much will it flow?

Yeah, its a BW. Its a big ****, too! Ran into a little issue trying to get my griffin radiator and flex a lite fans to fit. Even with the radiator relocation mod. We'll get her done, though.
