Default small turbonetics build

ive decided after retiring my daily driver to do a turbo setup,im not very familiar with turbo setups or anything and im not looking for major power, rite now so im looking at options and looking at turbonetics T04E-50, 3" the truck is a 01 with a 5.3 toped off with a 78mm fast intake, would this be a good turbo to start with what I already have?

Buy my TC78, it would be perfect for what you're doing.

I'm not just trying to sell you a turbo, that t04e is way too small for what you're doing. It would just be a restriction.

No that's too small. If you want small, run a 66mm or a 70

What are your goals and what do you want out of the turbo?

Now would both the 50mm be to much for it? Or would the power range equal out bout the same as a larger one?

Twin T04E's would be fine at low boost levels you will exceed your power goals.

As long as it's manageable at low boost that will be fine
