Te45a

Is this turbo too big for my set up. Te45a Q trim.
dls ported irons/ intake, 212/212 tappet,60lb inj, forged .30. Stock crank/rods and everything else. Trying to get right for the summer . Mid to low 11's maybe high 10

How much boost you plan on running....that turbo sings at 25+ psi boost. Im no expert but I would think that with ported intake heads and a decent cam...you should be able to run easy mod/low 11's with that turbo without running upper 20+ psi.

That turbo is way too much for your goals.

Its for sale with a thdp as a good deal.. Cant I use that and set it at a boost thats good for my combo and then turn it up as I add on.

I would take the advice from the above expert.

You could but spool with that turbo will be so lazy on the street that you will find yourself hating your car. Id use that turbo if i had high 9's on my mind. It would take a lot to get that to respond decently on the street and the mass flow potential with it is about 45% more than you need to run your number. Ive got a PT54 (6069) that would better serve your needs but you still need a good converter to run it and have that nice response.

Ima have to see about that turbo u got.. Gota check my funds

I run that turbo with a 3200 9x11 stall, no spool problems at all, and a smaller cam than yours. Spools pretty quickly actually. I think it mainly depends on your converter. Just turned it down to 26psi and it's still very strong.
