Default Beer and ebay don't mix

I'm an idiot.Didn't think things through untill after payment was made.I got a T3/T4 hybrid.The compressor is a T3 "45"trim w/.42a/r and a turbine is a T4 "p"trim w/.69a/r.I'm pretty sure this is to big(at least the turbine) for what i really wanted to use it for but i don't know enough about turbos to know.The engine is a 2.2l with top rpm@5500.I wanted to run between 9-12 psi max with intercooler.Will this turbo work?Maybe i should have gone with a T3 standard trim w/.48 a/r for turbine?I bought the "turbo calculator" thinking it would help but it just confused me more.Any help would be greatly appriciated.

It will work, you've got a good size engine to spool it.

It'll work, its not going to be the most efficient turbo for your setup but its going to do the job

ITs a bastard turbo, large exhaust on a small compressor, from waht i read. It might be good though on a large engine with a low rev limit like that.

WWW.turbocalculator.com It has like 88 compressor maps with it as well and will plot your info onto any compressor map to make an easy selection.I am just not clear on how you match the turbine side up once you select a compressor

I bought TC as well and it sucks ***. Doesn't even do the math properly.
