The T3/T4 you have now should easily make 350whp. There's no reason to upgrade.

it once made 360whp at 17lsb,but the tunningreally suck,and since then i now have 327 at 14lbs, but in need of tunning. the turbo has a 50 trim. is there a better turbo then this one that would spool faster then this one but still make a lot of power?

Not really, the T3/T4 50 trim is one of the faster spooling turbos for that power level. Moving to a bigger turbo will make spool worse and if you move to a smaller turbo you most likely won't be able to meet your power goals. I would definately stick with the turbo you have. Get someone to tune it right.

No problem, I notice you are in Tampa. Just curious who originally tuned your car?

john from ss tuned it first and made 360WHP at 17lbs which in my opinion is too high for my set up, and plus the car ran like shiet. then i got it tune my sfp after changing the piston and rods. and made 260whp at 9lbs and i was told that my injector were too dirty to go any higher, so i got them cleaned and got them back and put my car on the dyno and made 327whp at 14lbs but now my car is running too lean, so i called sfp and they said to tune is again, but i don;t wanna deal with them anymore( kind too far). so i am thinking bout letting this guy name Mase from gainsville tune it, but i am still getting my last part together, and the turbo is the last part. ther u go, the whole history on my car, i know u didn;t ask for the whole story lol, but ii just thought that i'd give it here on H-T.

John knows what he is doing. Why do think 360whp at 17 lbs was too high for you setup?
