Need your opinions on size... t3/t4e, 50 trim comp, stage III turbing wheel with a .63, .72, .78, or .82 ar turbine. Im kinda leaning toward the .78 because i can get it with a divided t3 housing with a 3" v-band. And before you guys jump on me like im an idiot newb, engine can handle the power, and I've done months of research and calculations and i know the limits and threshold. Just looking for rpms/boost for different ar's. So i was just curious what the ca guys thought about sizing and/or if a ca is currently running something similar. Thanks

What are you building it for? If it's a daily/street car, id' say the .63. It will spool nicely and should have decent flow in the top end at sane boost levels.

Mods are all there. I'm just too lazy to describe. It isnt a back yard throw together. Its deffinitely not a daily. Just weekends in the summer. Well, in its previous life, it put down 275 hp and it was a blast. Tons of fun to cruise around town. I just want more outta her now, especially since i restored the whole thing. But thats kinda what im searching for is if the .82 is way too extreme. And hell ya, the .63 would be a sweet all around. But im gunna run outta umph before 8k. Efficiency is not overworking
