a while ago i picked up a rebuilt turbo for dirt cheap, but it was before i was too serious about going KA-T. looking at the numbers, i dont think its gonna work.. any thoughts?

Compressor- T3 A/R .60, .45 trimTurbine- T4 A/R 1.32, 60 trim

im thinking huge lag monster.I plan on going KA-T at 7lbs, shooting for around 225-250 hpshould i sell it for somethin smaller, or try to find a better matched turbine?

That's an INSANE turbine a/r! I think it'd be a lag monster !

Sell it on ebay, and with the money you make, you'll find one that's better suited to the KA.I'm very pleased with a T3 super 60B, .48 turbine, .60 compressor, 51 trim wheel. Spools/boosts VERY low (instant throttle response) and doesn't drop off until after 5k RPM.I think it's well matched, although most peopl ehere would say the one I'm using is too small....
