lookin for anyone runnin these turbos or that can give me some information on them.
-BW/Airwerks S64X
-S465
what kinda prices for turbo, what kind of power outputs can i be lookin at with these, what the spool ups like(runnin a ZF6). im lookin at a 600hp daily driver that i can still drive on the streets and have fun at the track and sled pullin. thanks for the help

The S465 will need a T4 flange base, and daily driving can be achieved if you tune properly. Towing heavy would not be recommended.... The AR of this charger is not much larger than the HTT 16CM Stainless Steel turbine housing, for ease of install and better overall drivability you might want to look that direction. I know the S300 chassis is more money with the Stainless Turbine Housing but it will control thermal energy better, deliver far better spool than the S400 and can support the 600 HP you are looking for.

I would agree with you normally on this but he has a ZF6, s300 chargers and this trany don't get along the best. I only have one customer that still has his s300 because the others all failed. Yes it will spool better but up top it doesn't relieve enough drive pressure, even gated if you are actually making 600rwhp and turning more than 3200rpms. This has just been what I have personally seen.

The BD supermax kits for the dmax(The one most recent, I retuned the truck and the charger let go at 275ft the very next sled pull), and I also know Evan Davis had the same issue with his truck(also a zf6)(word for word from Evan-I couldn't even make it through 1 test drive before it would let go on me.) so he went to a custom S400 and hasn't had an issue yet that I am aware of. I am not by any means saying that all of them will have an issue, just that the stick trucks are harder on the chargers especially with elevated rpm range from personal experiences.
