depends on how high you want to turn the motor! it might be a dog down low, but it will pull like a freight train up top!

Seriously though, if you have the motor to support it, it would be fine.

76mm is probably too big for what you want. A 56mm would better suit that car. A 76mm will spool around 5k in 2nd gear at full throttle. A 56mm will support like 500-600rwhp, so unless you're seriously wanting to make over that, you will be fine.

You may be better suited to use a smaller turbo to take better advantage of the rpm range you will be using. If you really want to go with that big of a turbo, I would recommend getting some turbo cams or some custom grind cams. The should help you make the power in the rpm range you are wanting.

76mm are what 750+ hp supras use. I don't think he's looking for 750 with stock heads and cams..

a 56mm would be ideal

Since Drew drives a black skittle....I'm going to go out on a limb and say 56mm is perfect for his needs.

lmao rob LOL.

i might try and pick up a 62mm. or just run the 66mm i have. i had just found a 76mm for cheap but i was thinking it would be a little much. i want to have room to grow on the turbo. so when i do do heads/cams i'm still good on the turbo
