Default difference between turbos

I have a t3/t04e 60 trim that came with my Peakboost kit, that i had rebuilt and decided to take a ****. How would the Roto-Master 60-1 t3/t4 compare to it?

Like any other 60-1 that uses a stage 3. Not much more power than your 60 trim, and its only in the top end. Larger compressor wheel and housing allows for slightly larger top end, but less response.

Plenty of other turbos out there, can't say which is "best" until you start going for particular goals, power levels, use of the car and budget. maybe its best to just get another 60 trim.

I found someone selling one for 200.that's why I was asking. I'm looking for around 400hp. I'm running a GSR block sleeved to 84.5 mm. Weisco pistons (9.0:1) eagle rods and a type r crank. I have a b16 head. Trying to figure out if I should go with my GSR or b16 cams.

Stay with your GS-R camshafts. 400whp can be found in that turbo, but for 200 bucks that tells me something may be wrong with it requiring a rebuild. I'd ask questions about it first.
