Default is a .70 a/r to4s compressor too big?

i need some help deciding on which turbo would be best for my setup.

heres a run down of my setup.

ls vtec.
81.5 mm bore
approx~ 9.7:1 CR
wiseo pistons
eagle rods
stock gsr head
3" downpipe
3" thermal exhaust

my previous turbo was a turbonetics .70 to4s compressor 4" inlet, 2.5 outlet

turbine was a stage 3 .48 a/r

this turbo took a **** so im replacing it with a master power unit.
my goal is approx 350- 400 hp the most

my question is should i stick with the super huge to4s compressor or should i get a smaller compressor for my setup?

btw, i stepped up the turbine from .48 to .63 a/r.

thanks for the input.

The compressor A/R or size has very very little to do with how the turbo behaves.


It does decrease inlet restriction though by having the bigger inlet.
