Default LS V-tec turbo question

I have a LS V-tec and with a GSR head. I am about to a buy T3/T4 turbo. Will that turbo be to big or should I go smaller?

Hell no! I have a huge t3/t4 turbo on my small-*** 1.6 liter d16y8 motor (stock internals)... I'm not saying that was the right choice for my motor -- I'm just saying.

I'd go with the equivalent of a medium sized t3/t4, you've got lots of power potential with those. A t3 turbo would really peter out when you wanted more power as well as on the top end RPMs.

My tuner has a CRX with a gigantic turbo the size of your head. It doesn't SPOOL until 6,000RPMs and it still runs a 10 second quarter mile on a stock boosted GSR motor/tranny.
