I ordered from Jose' a LI turbo for the LI S478, I do agree with Tate LI are six blade and we got a seven blade. Not sure of want to say. Sure wished I dealt with Alamo or someone else next time. Not impressed with FI. Now I have a fubarred S476 something, its going to cost me $60 for shipping, and a rebuild kit for the front seal is $30. Jose' has never sent me an invoice, so its my words against his.

I will fix that, if you want Jamie.

Jamie, please do not judge the twins as is, there are still stuff to adjust to tweak. Would like to get rid of the boost leaks and see how the gate is configured. Twins cause boost leaks if the rest of the truck hasn't been high pressured tested/configured. Guaranteed, you'll have leaks some where if your not into the 70psi for boost. Guaranteed. The S478as is rated at 120 lbs/min, thats a 700-800 RWHP truck on fuel. At that point the 44m tial should be upgraded, as well, but thats me. I like the 50mm gate.

Can't say anything to that, I never seen the invoice. But considering Jose just announced the 7 and 8 blade LI wheels last week, and Mike has had this turbo since May or June, safe bet says its not an LI wheel.
