i would prefer something a little bigger but thats just me, the t04B spools nice but IMO doesnt make enough power.

I have that same turbo. I like it but as always, I want more power. It is good for about 300hp @15 psi. Pulls hard all the way til redline, better then the stock turbo!

That made my head hurt...

First of all, "T04B" doesn't many anything useful.
It could be anything from an S-trim to an H-trim.
We're talking about power potential anywhere from 200hp to over 350hp.
We need to know what the compressor wheel size is...

I am now dizzy! Who makes the housings? There are some really crappy pieces of work out there. True; deals and good deals do exist, but beware of what you're getting into. Ask what the compressor housing is...as in manufacturer. I recently came across one that was GLUED together.

Fill it up with a 1/2 Bridge!

YEEAH baby!!

But for a good estimate of power potential, get a measurement of the inducer and exducer on te compressor wheel
