    Not knowing anything about the turbo except the T6 flange my thought is that it will be WAY too big on the hot side... what is the turbine AR?

    I think it would take forever to spool it on a 4.3.

    NOPE ;) read my sig


    IMO t6 is WAY too big, i have a t4 .96a/r p-trim. i can start to see boost at 1800rpm but i have to load it real good in 6th gear. a 4th gear pull from 2k it will start making boost right away. full boost(on the 7lb wasegate spring) by 3000rpm and by 4k hold the fock on. i wish it would pull at 3k like it does at 4k. cams not that wild so im figuring the cam timming is off or something
