Re: big ole turbo. any thoughts?
maybe its time for you to deisgn a TT setup with a smaller turbo lol..... Im sure you could get it to spool, but the question is if it would be useable. How fun would it be to have a stock b16 until you hit 7k? Im totally guessing but i would think a GM4 is smaller than a GM9? So it could be a bit much, but if not im sure that thing would flow like a **** 
Good luck!
Good luck!

Don't use it. The first Lexus ES 300 turboed uses the newer series (GM-
with a slightly better spool than the older one you have. They're all good for 350-400bhp.
The turbo spools at 3750rpm, and makes 5psi by 4000rpm, 14.7 by 4500rpm. Why is that important? He's got a 240-250bhp 3.0L v6 N/A, that makes 85% of it's torque @ 2500rpm.
If he can't spool it in a reasonable amount of time with three-five times the low end powerband worth of exhaust energy; there is no way in hell that you are going to be driveable on your i4.
That turbo really needs a v8 over 4.0L in displacement to get it moving.
Sell it & buy something that will actually get moving before you're bouncing off your rev limit.
