Default Garrett GT30

About to buy a Garrett GT30R ball bearing turbo for $475 out the door. 76mm compressor wheel, 56 trim, and .60 A/R
this is for a remote set up.
Sound like a good turbo (and good price) for my 3.9L V6 to you guys? she is pushing a meeeasly 180 whp and 210 wtq right now. People say it is too small of a turbo but i dont want too much lag... what do you guys think?

what are the full specs? if it has a 76mm inducer, it is way too big.
