Default need some help understanding this *searched*

i'm about to buy this turbo next week, i'm just having a hard time wondering if this is a good application on an LS, once again my goal hp wise is only 300whp.

175-450+ HP T3/T04E 0.63/0.60 A/R 54 trim

^specs on the turbo, should i go for the .57trim? i tried looking through the LS turbo thread and diden't find anyone else with this spec turbo. any input would be great, it's also a new garette turbo. TIA

Almost just as well as the 57 trim or 50 trim. Here is a thread for you to read through. It is with respect to the 50 trim vs the 57 trim, the 54 will spool slightly faster than the 57 and a bit slower than the 50 (in theory). If you can get the 54 for a really good price then get it. If not, go with the 57 or 50 depending on you max hp goals for the future. GL.

The 50 trim would suit a 300hp goal slightly better than the 54 trim. I would personally go with a 50 trim .48, you would be nearly maxing it out but the spool time will be insane and amazing on the street.

Before i blew a piston ring i was running a 57trim .63 on a stock gsr aiming for 300 HP, I was thinking of swapping to a 50 trim .48, but now I will be pushing the 57trim (max 450hp).
