Hi,
I have one myself.
I think they are a great turbo
They will outflow any equivalent sized turbo on the market
They (S480) has 8 compressor blades as opposed to the Garrett 80mm comp wheel which has only 6 blades, that's ~25% more airflow!!
They have extended tips so they hold more air flow and boost pressure
You definately made a good choice there

Seems like everyone is going with this turbo nowadays... I can't wait to see what it can do. Not sure about the 2 extra blades giving 25% more airflow though... doesn't make sense to me.

That is a standard cover. Should have been around 800 bucks. You can get the BW480 with the race cover direct from BW (177287). They are only around 1000 or less from a diesel shop....

i am really thinking of going with this turbo myself, but i am wondering if i really need the s480, as apposed to the s475. If anybody is familiar with both of these, is there any noticable increase in spool time between the two?

What are you going to use for the street racing or drag racing only ? what makes your spool up laggier or quicker is your exhaust side thats what you need to consider for the quick spooling the cold side is the amount of air you want it produce.

Hello pmr , from what I hear of everyone I talk to that are running this the tell me nothing but good thing about them . You have yours up and running yet ? How it spools and poweband thru the rpm's ? This is strickly for drag racing can wait till all together up and running .
I just finished my studies for the year, therefore have been busy with that and have done very little on engine
I have bought some parts and planning to buy some more in the coming months
My engine will be ready to start probably in a year or two
It's hard for me to save up money as I work part time and have no time to work any extra hours because of my studying commitments
Things are looking up though, I have 3.5 months free now, to work and make money, so I like to save up the money needed, to hopefully complete a large portion of what else is required on the engine
The exhaust wheel and housing is quite large on the S480, therefore I'd probably go with a smaller diameter manifold piping if you're worried about spool

~25% is pretty high but can we agree that the increase airflow will be quite signifiicant?
