Re: tdo4
That's why a so called "Hybrid turbo" is desired. Smaller Exhuast with the ideal Compressor.
Too small of a turbo ends up creating alot of excess heat which in turn hurt your engine. Plus people may think it's nice to have zero lag, but in turn it's sort of a traction control, plus with zero lag you fuel economy goes WAY down and your engine see boost alot more, intur placing it uder stress.
Stepping up to a slight larger turbo like a t3 .42/.48 or even a 14b would give you hardly and more lag, and would be running alot more efficiently.

Re: tdo4
Go for a .42./48. It's a good size turbo, and if you ever want to step up, or replace your manifold will have the right flang seeing as 75% of the turbos out there are t3. And if you want a better or bigger housing combo, you can slap just about any other one on.
I know this is HMT and thing are supposed to be cheap, but spend $20 more and get something that is going to make life easier down the road!

What's a rpm I can expect it to reach boost at and does it run efficiently to 7000rpm?
