Default how big of TB for 500+ whp?

I was wondering hwo big of a TB you guys are running for 500-550WHP? I'm been thinking of gettting a 70-75mm TB. But I just noticed the AEBS TB are going for a killer deal. They're going for $139 for 68mm.

Just trying to see what people are running. If people are making good power with a 68mm. I rather Save myself $100-150 and go with the AEBS.

68 should work easily if your turbo is up to it.

I plan on using 3" on the cold side and 2.5" on the hot side.

With just 500-550whp, a stock TB should be enough. Save your money on something else. Also, I dont think 3'' piping is nescessary for just that much power. 2.5'' piping and stock TB is plenty enough. Put your money on the tuner.
