    I'm wondering if anyone has some input on using a Borg Warner s4t 318812 that appears to be designed for a 600hp kta19 on a 425 rated 3406b?
    If you've done it, how well can it build boost down low or maintain egts given proper fueling?
    I had the turbo on a 6.7 Cummins with a 66mm feeding it and made a bit over 1,100hp so I know it's capable of moving the air. I'm unable to find a map for the thing to see where it's happy cfm wise. I'm hoping someone will either say "them things are great on a b model" or "you idiot"

    A turbo designed for a 19 liter engine would be a lazy dog with only 14.6 liters pushing it. Maybe in a high horsepower build for sled pulling could work, but for every day use i dont think so.

    Lots of good options out there. Dont need to reinvent the wheel.
