The TO4 full frame turbo's are good for more boost then a stock block can handle, so no worries there. I can't tell you when it will spool unless you can give me the specs from the turbo. What size is the exhaust housing? What trim is the turbo.

I had a TO4E with a 60-1 compressor and a .81 AR exhaust housing on my RB20 and it didn't spool until 5000ish.

Thats not bad then, you'll have boost before 4000 or so. Thats a good turbo choice.

You cut in between the runners so the flange can expand and retract.

make sure you drill small holes at the crack's ends so it doesnt spread
