I don't have the funds for a Ball Bearing GT40R unit. I am settling on the journal bearing version. Will be going on a 83mm bore LS/Vtec engine. Spinning to 9200RPM give or take.
I aim to make 650-700whp. I will probably put it around town on the weekends around 13psi.
Any feedback on this turbo?

whats the cost on that ? around 900 ? you can get a BW turbo for only a few hundred more... man up wade... you gotta put that mean front end to use !
dunno much about the BW stuff, but they are really cheap in price or at least it seems that way to me, lol maybe the s366

im using a 4088 j/b with t4.82 exhaust turbo on a 84mm ls/v ,custom top mount ,and gsr trans and love it im only reving to 8k for now (till dyno time ) . i see boost about 4800 to 5200 rpm im only on 8 psi sorry not much help but but i like mine for the price you cant go wrong but if i had the $ i would buy a bw .
the s366 and none bb 4088 are pretty simaller from what i have seen in power /spool but i am running the smallest turbine wheel and housing on my s366 compared to the bigger turbine wheel/housing on the 4088. now that i have the info needed on that combo i will see what a bigger turbine wheel/housing will do on the s366 im thinking the power might come up a bit
I dont know much about GT4088 but I can comment on GT4067. I would go for GT4067. I use it in my car and I made 630@23psi.
James been 9's on GT4067...
