Default anyone have expience with a volvo t3 on a gsr or ls vtec?

wondering if this would be a good turbo for a 10:1 compression ls vtec revving to 8k and at 10psi?

anyone know whats larger? a t25 off a sr20 or a t3 off a volvo?

either one of those turbos are weak for either one of those motors, get something a little bigger like a t3t4 or t3 super 60, sc61, gt35r, theres a lot better turbos out there that youll like a lot better, and last through the rpm range of those motors

haha its probably identical to mine, mine was of a 1998 850t they were 2.4 honestly just say no. if the turbo is in decent condition, sell for 100$ and get a rebuilt t3 from blaast
