T3/T4 too small?
Looking at a turbo available in my area...
"It has a ported and polished inlet bell, polished intake housing, and comes with an adjustable wastegate.
A/R is .60/.63 Hot/Cold. "
He wants $350 neg.
At what kind of (ballpark) numbers would this become too small for a 87 6-port NA thats going to be rebuilt, maybe minor porting? Car needs to stay streetable, so I figured this may be a decent option... I know I'm leaving a lot of variables, but I've barely started in on the motor, so I haven't decided on aiming for anything! Open to suggestions, and lotsa info! thanks!

Your tittle says t3/t4 which is a hybrid, t3 turbine and t4 compressor. The stocker's turbine is equivelant in size to a t3 and its compressor is yes close to a t4. The turbo you described even though you listed no trim levels I know already is too small due to the A/R values you listed (way too small turbine A/R regaurdless of the trim, and the compressor A/R although not as critical I know that only small trim compressors come with such a lame A/R, so its a small trim compressor). The answer is NO, its too small, let some Honda guy buy it.
