what A/R turbine is good (Ive heard .48 hot with stage 5 turbine)and is a T3 exhaust side good for early spool? And compressor trim side?

Is it possible for full boost 16-18 lbs at 3300rpm or earlier and pull up to 6800-7000rpm and still make 400-450hp with KA?I am sure it will have to be t3/t4 .

please post your experiences or good power and early spool and reccomendations!

for 400-450 rwhp, you are gonna need at the least a .63 ar stage 3 wheel turbine.50 trim compressor .63 ar stage 3 t3/t04e will get you to 400 rwhp but that will require at least 20-22 psi and will max out soon after that.

what turbo do you have now?

The T3/T4 is really a good turbo with alot of room for configuration and options so you're on to a good start with it. And yes I would have suggested the 50 trim myself. A GT3071R may spool quicker though.

GT3071R .63 a/r

You'd make 15 psi by about 3600 or so... and it'd make every bit of 450rwhp.

Transient response is alot better than your typical journal bearing turbo.
