Icon2 Best turbo for my lude?

ok just a quick question i have been looking at turbos for my stock lude and have found one that i think will do fine (garrett T-Series T3 60 Trim - .63 A/R) is this fine or to big, also if is to big than help me out. I know i can just use the search bar but this way i can get into more detail. O, and if this is a fine turbo will i need to get a new radiator and fan?

you wont find much info in the search bar anyway since the search here sucks *****. That turbo will be perfect for a street motor. something that is fun just to drive around without having to wait on the power to kick in. I would recommend 8-10psi TUNED with a proper engine engine management on a stock motor.

it's the manifold design which designates whether or not you'll need a 1/2 rad and/or slim fans. not which turbo you go with.

How is it to small it's a 60 trim with 63 a/r. the amount of air flow coming out my motor should do just fine with a 60 trim. if i go any bigger i will start to have more lag. plus it is going on a stock motor not a built one. but if u still think it is to small give me some more info on y.

Its a 60 trim straight T3, you will run out of breath on that turbo after 5500 rpm, full spool will be instant at something like 2200 rpm, but major loss of power after 5500 rpm on your 2.3 Liter motor.

Look into the 50 Trim t3/t04e turbo.
T3 on the hotside .63 a/r,
T04e on the cold side .60 a/r.
That would put you at full spool at around 3500 rpm on your motor and will carry you all the way to redline.

Also, what is your power goal ?

garret 60trim is prolly gonna be too big for a stock lude, since our compression isnt all that great. i mean you can run it, but not too high of a psi.
