Turbo Suggestions for BBC ?
I'm helping a buddy turbo his 65 nova. He is building a 8.8:1 compression 496 stroker for it. He wants to go with a single turbo setup hoping for 1000 whp. Would a GT45 (.69 AR compressor/1.05 AR Turbine) be big enough? He said he can get a used one pretty cheap. If not, any suggestions. Holset?

Jesus man a 496 anything shouldnt have a problem putting 700+ to the ground, an extra 300 from a tiny huff of boost isnt a stretch. Hope the rest of the car can take it...

T6 exhaust side required for sure.
I would look in the 88mm - 91mm size range, yes I realize that this is way overkill, but it will at least get out of that motors way when not in boost.
