Garrett GT32 .. your opinion?

Anyone have any thoughts on putting a GT32 (Compressor trim: 52, AR:0.5, turbine:trim 73, AR: 0.78, internally wastegated) on an FC?

Does it have the POTENTIAL to spool correctly, make good power, avoid creep or overboost, etc?

Note how I say potential, as in I know there are many more factors that turbo selection alone.
Since I run NA I am not familiar with turbos just yet. All thoughts are welcome!

GT32s don't come in a ball bearing models (only turbos with Rs have ball bearings) so I would probably go with a GT35R it's bigger and will probably spool just as fast, if not faster.

Too small.. really? I wasnt going for 400whp but fair enough.

And I didnt know that about the ball bearings either... shitty deal. Could had this turbo for 400 brand new

agreed. go with the GT35R or the 500R from A-Spec. Check out goodfellasfd3s for the 500R.

Check out A-Spec's GT3574 for a cheaper alternative to BB with good response and fully capable of handling 400whp. It's what I'm gonna rock when I drop the T04E

The hot side is too small. A bigger hotside and it would be a good turbo to make 300HP or so on the NA engine with a great torque curve. The 1.06 T3 hotside is a good choice if you can get it. Or go with the GT30R.
