Turbo decisions...
I'm in the market for another turbo... I had a t3/to4s .63AR stg 1 wheel with a 60 trim compressor wheel(just like a 60trim t3/to4e, but with the bigger S cover)
I made 400/400 with it...running ~ 28psi (i didnt run near enough ignition timing and I had a leaky dsm bov)
My reason for doubting my previous selection is spool time and power. My block (srt-4 bottom end) will hold upwards of 500whp with a good tune and race gas(NO DETONATION!!)
I think a t3/60-1 sounds like a good turbo for the money and the power it will make. I utilize a 3 bar map sensor, so the PR wont be a problem with a smaller turbo... but I think the 60-1 is sized just about right for my goals.
the .48 is tempting for when Im drag racing for the instant spool...but the .82 is tempting because of the ability to actually DRIVE the car on the street without raping the tires(gear dependant boost control will be a must) Or I could stick with the .63... I don't think there will be "that much" of an actual difference in spool time between the .82 and the .63...2-3 hundred rpms before it spools...but the ability to flow at the higher rpms
What do you guys think? Im open to suggestions.
note: car is mostly a track car that I drive to work and back when it runs lol.

I think your current one is good...seeing how you like to drag and go on highways...that t3/t4 seems to fit your needs just fine...if you went with the t3...i bet you'll get a lot of wheel hop...and possibly breaking a few axles...but hey just get it anyways...ahha try them all...(i personally tried 3 different turbos so far)
