garrett 50trim will get you there. quick spool good for 300. not much more after that tho.just go with a 57trim. good for 400hp and not a lot of money. if you have a built motor why waste money on a small turbo. spend the cash and get something worth buying. that way you can make 300 and even 400. without changing things.

50 trim is the turbo you need.

I have a ebay t3/to4e .63 exhaust .50 ar on my ls-t made 314whp pretty easy and spools about were you want yours too. but Im pretty sure it wouldn't make past 340-350ish. plenty of power for my little car though.

As stated above, get a Garrett T3/TO4e, 50 or 57 trim.

holding up good so far. I had some setbacks because I bought a used motor that got a rod knock after 3 days of running it. no burning oil, you have to make sure you run a oil restrictor. and I can show you a link of the sell that I bought mine from, def feels alot better quality than my old ebay turbo I had on my sohc (when I bought it it already had shaft play... alot)

although a garrett is never a bad option it all depends on your budget.

Im into my whole kit around 650, with injectors and a 3 bar map.

and Im from salem.
