you would make more power than u kno what to do with. If u want a really insane turbo get a GT35 ball bearing......ball bearing means instantanious spool.

What trim is it, what are the a/r specs? You cant just say a t3/t4 is good for a certain amount of power as there are many different sizes of t3/t4's.

make sure you get a wastegate with a setting that can handle the added hp!
