Will work ok on a stock ls1 to about 550-600 rwhp. More then that its a restriction and IAT's will sky rocket. Also get rid of the .84A/R. Go no less then a .96A/R especially on a P-trim wheel.

Most turbine wheels are around 250-300. Its the most expensive component of the turbo.

go figure huh. so is that all i would need to upgrade later or does it look like i'd need a compressor max i'm looking for would be 700 i think i will be real happy with 550 - 600 though untill later. so will this turbo spool rather quick now with this set up as it is then?

That turbo will fight very bravely but die quickly...lol. It will choke the exhaust pretty quickly. P-trim wheels with .84's are what we use on 4cyl and 6cyl builds. Also if its a tang divided housing, which it appears to be with a .84, then its even smaller (10% less for T4, 15% less for T6). For the numbers you want , the compressor will need to be upgraded.

On a V8, I wouldn't run anything less then a T70. To be hinest with you, its better to sell it then upgrade it. The T04R's still demand good money on the Supra boards since they are used and designed for those cars. HKS used that turbo on the Supra turbo kit they build/built.
