Hey guys.
Ive purchased a rb26, and while im waiting on delivery, i'm trying to figure out the direction i want to go with the turbos. Im looking for 400rwhp or so on California's anemic pump gas.

The engine doesnt have any turbos, otherwise, i'd use those.

I do have a brand new precision turbo 5857 turbo lying around...will this work for my goals, or will it just suffocate the engine? Similarly, will i end up needing a bigger turbo if i want more power for track days? Ive done a ton of looking, but have had no definitive answer.

Turbo specs
Billet wheels. T3 Flange .63 4 bolt turbine housing, "Ported S" compressor cover 4.0" inlet, with a .70 A/r compressor housing.

Compressor- BILLET
Wheel Inducer: 58mm 
Wheel Exducer: 75mm 

Turbine Wheel - 
Wheel Inducer: 65mm
Wheel Exducer: 56mm


Thanks!

should be fine but the turbine housing will choke it out.
