Most aftermarket garrett turbos aren’t ideal for anything outside of the gas market, I would love to try a GTX5018 on my 3406, but It’s only offered with an 88mm inducer which isn’t needed at all, not to mention the cost.

So if I am looking at what would be available I lean toward the 97/92mm HX60, the turbine does much better than the 96/88 of the S400.
I have Garrett 82/110mm extended tip compressors and can get GT50 turbines that fits Cat center housings.

Forced Induction have 100/92 turbines for BW.
