Default t3, t4, or t3/t4 Traction Question

I belivie with a t3 or a t3/t4 that a FWD will have little or no traction in 1st and 2nd.
But with the t4 the turbo will spool at 4,500 or 5,000 and traction is no longer a problem. someone please help im confused and don't know if my theroy is corrrect. fell free to correct me. I searched and came up with nothing.

mm..well depending on how much power you make, then traction will be/not be an issue. i mean, with a t4, if u make enormous gobs of power, once u hit peak tq w/ that turbo, u'll still lose traction. having a t4 can be a pain with streetability. the turbo u use also depends on waht application you want, drag, road race...etc...

this is not very good logic, you very well may not spin quite as much in 1st, but with a big power like you want traction will not exist till atleast 4th gear on street tires.

thats pretty much it.. you can run drag radials, but i don't have experience running drag radials on 10 second street car.
