T4 or T6 housing, what's the turbine a/r, they affect spool. The ST80 can be a good turbo for the 5.3, your not going to get a really responsive turbo but more of a hard hitting turbo.

It most likely will have the 83mm turbine wheel which is not going to spool quick but will come on hard and allow the engine to pull hard on the top end.
