turbo to small?
 

i just picked up a 1988 mustang (good old fox)
and it cam with 2 turbos (previous owner was a kid that wanted to turbo it but was more worried about the fact he cant drive the car because it's a 5 speed so he sold it to me for $800 with only 105k miles on it and it's pretty decent looking for the year)


i was thinking about using the turbo's that came with the car but i think they may be just a little to small for it
here are the specs on the box the turbo's are in

Compressor

* Inlet = 2.75"
* Intake (ID / OD) = 1 5/8" / 2"
* Inducer = 38.1 MM
* Exducer = 50.8 MM
* Trim = 56
* A/R = 0.50

Turbine

* Outlet = 2.5"
* Turbo flange = T3
* Downpipe flange = 3" V-band
* Inducer = 33.3 MM
* Exducer = 28.6 MM
* Trim = 74
* A/R = 0.63

Center Section

* Oil cool system
* Oil feed = T3
* Oil return = T3


im not looking for huge power (like 300whp)
but the car is going to be a daily driver (my 97 gtp blew a rod through the block on the dyno when i was having the new 2.8" setup tuned oh well it will give me a project for the winter)

also the engine is a 5.0L v8 (like 160hp 240ft-lbs)
i haven't had it at the track but i would guess mid to low 15's and im hoping for mid 13's and being reliable enough to drive daily

Unfortunitly Wideasshole has a boosted car. Cornhole here has failed at pretty much everything.
