Default Should i get a bigger turbo?

I'm almost finish with my build and im wondering if i should run a larger turbo, and a different manifold.
Benson B16a 81mm
CP 9:1
Manley Rods
B16a head
Supertech valves
Portflow spring/retainers

Ill be using a t3/t4 57 trim 63 a/r with a inline pro manifold.

Im shooting for 450-500whp and wonder how my turbo/manifold will produce power. Im kinda low on cash so idk if should stick with i got, go to a sc61 sized turbo on the inline pro or try to get a neukin/full race manifold with my turbo.

throw out any comments

For the power you're looking to support, that turbo will do the job. Don't waste your money on a new turbo.

500 WHP is race gas no matter how you look at it. The smaller turbo just gives you a nier powerband. Stick with the 57 trim. Lots of people have made great power on the inlinepro, it's fine.

this is true. if you are really considering it, my friend has an equal lenth and a 3" dp made specifically to fit a t3/t4 on a b series in an ef/ed chassis. ill talk to you about this in a few days.

Yes...A t3/t4 57 trim will reach your horsepower goal.
60 trim will be laggy.
A 57 trim can push over 500hp.
