Default Single 57mm 5.3??

i happen to have a single 57mm 96 ar turbo and was hoping to get some opinions on using it. Would be going on a more or less stock 5.3 with cam upgrade if anything.

Is it worth while to even setup or should I try to sell and go larger like everyone seems to do? With a 5.3 would it be spooled constantly? I am new to FI and looking for alittle advise.

Thanks alot!

It would spool instantly, but I'm sure it would run out of steam by about 5K RPM or sooner....

does trim play a factor at all or is it just the fact that it is a small turbo?

Too small. My mpt70 was done at 14psi and 600ish rwhp.

Depends on your goals... a turbo that small would be good for an off roader or something where you want power down low and instant spool and won't be revving very high.

I would look for something a big larger.
