Default Is a 67mm too small

I am contemplating throwing a 5.3 into my 3rd gen rx7. Right now I have a billet 6765 with the .96 ar laying around my house that I was going to throw on my 13b build. Is this turbo going to be too small or do you think it will hold up? The initial plans would be to make the 500-600hp people say the 5.3 can handle and then go from there.

Thanks Tom. It will be a slow process, but I am at least getting a plan together.

Where are you seeing full boost and how much are you running? I would like to push the limits of this turbo if at possible but that will come later.
