Turbo wish list.
If you could afford any turbo....
For me it's the BW EFR line.

I've had great luck with BW's for response and airflow with journal bearing models, I can only imagine how well these perform.....Time to buy some lottery tickets

I may have seen a pair of EFRs on a c7 corvette recently.

Turbonetics TC78 with the upgraded 75mm turbine. BB and billet wheel. I bet I could design my next manifold to still fit it under the hood pretty much where my TC76 sits.

I picked up an S-cover recently and just discovered today that I can fit it on my new setup on both sides 
... Sooo, I think my turbo wish list next year will entail billet 72's at least (maybe 75's) and and F1-68 turbine. Turbonetics. We'll see, 7268's might be way more then enough. 7568's though, hmmm.

TC78-76-72. The 78 should fit nicely without much modification

It would be the exact same size as what you have now, just a larger turbine (inside) and slightly more compressor also but it should bolt on what you have. Reggie says the billet 76 wheel flows more than the cast 78 but who knows. Friend went 9.875@150 in his 6.0l ls RX7 with a 6 speed and a crap 60ft on the full t76 billet with the f1-75 exhaust wheel in a .96. 18psi no intercooler e85/with meth car is a littl over 3000lbs race weight.

You need to have those manifolds cast 
Hard part would be getting any sort of 4" intake pipe, but most at that level might just run a screen. I wonder how well the f1-68 would flow in that t3 housing you have vs a smaller exhaust wheel in a larger t4 housing.

GET YOURS RUNNING ALREADY! I seriously do plan on completing 3D models of them at least for having a manufacturer quote. A casting is a hole different ball game. Lots of $$ to start. I've started the modeling, but getting my heap running again has taken priority. I'm having to make more changes to the cold side then I originally thought with the turbo placement adjustments from before. It's so close though, I can almost smell the fumes!
Vibrant Performance has some pretty slick shorty turbo filters that would work perfect.
I have the rental coming up on 1/26, then plan on some safety mods before doing anything to make any more power than the 62/65's will put out. Bank account needs a break

I know, I just had 1.5 weeks off and didn't touch the stupid car. Between breaking beaters, snow cleanup, work, working out, etc I'm just not getting to the car. This winter is a cold ***** up here.
How do you like the 62/56s anyway? as far as response, etc?

I would want a pair of Garrett TR30R turbos. They might not make the most power in the world but they would seriously kick ***! cost about $10K each though!
Although i think any of the custom turbos would cost similar amounts. From what i hear its not the size of the units that matter but the materials and the clearances used that cost the cash. Ti shafts and very tight wheel to housing machining adds significant costs!
