Definitely way too large. At most I'd try one with a stage 1 wheel but it will still be a lag monster. You could try a .48 stage 1 wheel with a 50 trim compressor.

like a 54 trim t3/t4 would be better.

maybe go down to a t3 60 trim, those are the ticket on stock d's

wrx, 14b, t3 .42/.48 or the t3 60 trim are all good turbos going small to large from left to right

The turbo you are talking about will work but need the push a little more exhaust out.
should be fine

---- greddy kits, wipe your *** with the money you're wasting

research and build your own, much more satisfying. besides, if you want a greddy kit you need to go to turbod16.com
