Default T3/TO4E Too big for a stock LS???

Is this true? My cuz thinks so, he says the compressor housing might be too big. This is what i have now on my LS and its pretty slow. I put out (171.9whp and 162.5tq). on stock exhaust... RAN 14.2 best.. in EG6
because i was thinkin bout getting another turbo perhaps a T3 Super 60 like Johnny...

I want to put out over 200hp! DAMN...
maybe its my setup.. I also have some oil coming out of my turbo going through my charge pipes.
I have drove on open dp, but really did not feel much diff.

I need help...

Specs:
Turbine: .48 AR
Compressor: I think is .50 AR, not sure... its the turbonetics one...
Trim: 57

---- no, that turbo is great for an LS. something is wrong with the car only making 171. I would start with the exhaust. We made 171 on an LS with blow rings.
