I need a T4 housing for my newest project(S475) and can't fine a decent place to buy them. Where do you guys suggest? I was hoping for a 1.25ar.
 
One more question, how much of a difference do the Extended tip compressor wheels make? How much would I gain over a regular S475? Thanks for the link.

What turbine wheel do you need it to fit?

I just called and left a message, I might as well get a price on a new turbo from you while I'm at it. I didn't buy this one yet and it will be much easier to just buy a T4 turbo.
 
Thanks for the phone call, I'm glad I waited to buy a turbo. I was going about this all wrong. Screw T6....

Forced Inductions sells them for $790. But I want a 1.25 housing, they only carry 1.10. I'll figure it out here soon. I really can't wait to have twins.

That is the issue you get, you need to know what is what, and where to get what.
 
I wouldn't use a 1.1 t4 on twins unless I was putting an external gate on the bottom charger.
 
Those housings dont vary in price on our chargers Kyle. Like I said on the phone, lets plan something that your gonna be able to use long term if you start pouring more fuel to it. Its much easier to design it in now than overlook it and fight those issues down the road. You already have a good piping kit to start with.

For what its worth, The $790 T4 special...Mass Transit replacement charger (IE City Bus's) nothing fancy, offshore parts, big build tolerances, non extended tip compressor, 2nd smallest turbine wheel in the family, also not the turbine housing your seeking........In its defense it has a great compressor cover if you get a V-band version.....and the center section could be built into something that would run strong. That just makes for a lot of left over parts and adds far more expense to the project.
