Default turbo too big? (pics)

So yeah i was wondering about this turbo i got from a friend that he "borrowed" from some semi engine that was just sitting there for a while .I was thinking about putting this on my 350 small block and I just wanted to know if it was too big for the engine. Has forged trw pistons and eagle rods.
cold side AR .75 ,hot side AR 1.35 .

comparing to a .42/.48 garret



A little ------- action.


**** Shot.

yes it is way too big for a 350. that turbo won't ever spool up with that motor.

Think so? How about on a 3.2L V6: https://www.homemadeturbo.com/turbo_projects/SHO/ It had instant spool


It depends alot on the trim size and what housings are used.

The turbine A/R is what is going to kill the boost threshold.

Looks like a good rotary turbo to me.
