Most aftermarket garrett turbos aren’t ideal for anything outside of the gas market, I would love to try a GTX5018 on my 3406, but It’s only offered with an 88mm inducer which isn’t needed at all, not to mention the cost.

So if I am looking at what would be available I lean toward the 97/92mm HX60, the turbine does much better than the 96/88 of the S400.
Well it depends what your looking for? Top end power and no wastegate needed if possible or something that really on the ball all the time as for great low and mid end power? Makes a big difference dos it?

97/92mm HX60 we had some in the past but these wheel came of the shaft way to easy so we did not bother as no good for us. Also the 97/92mm HX60 was used on some 14L Scania V8 mainly due for low drive pressure but not very responsive se we build a whole load of S480SX4 and now moving over to the S476SX-E for 800 to 1000Hp Scania V8 and they love these turbochargers over Holset and Garrett that’s are used on the 4 & R series Scania engines.

As for the GT50 or maybe even GT55. But have to find out. We runs a 110 and 120Lb/min Garrett and turbine side both over 100mm. We run them on a 12L 60 series. 110Lb/min dos about the same as the S476SX3 and the 120Lb/Min the same as S480SX3 as well looking @ the data on a race engine. But if you want some I have a customer that builds custom build Garrett with a large turbine side so yes everything is possible and are good considering EGT is not low on this engine even using the TiAl TH as the Garrett TH is crap with only 750C EGT you will need some for one year truck racing.
