first off thats t4 flanged, second it will spool at about 8k if at all

just buy a a new t3t4 50 trim with a .63 hotside and be done with it
they can be had for 600 new and buy a borg warner or a garrett one and don't buy ANY TURBO OFF OF EBAY UNLESS ITS A HOLSET PERIOD

Look in the sponsors classified. You can get a brand new one for $550-600. I've seen brand new ones in the FI classifieds for $450. $700 is a ripoff;
