Sounds please a good deal but 60 trim doesn't really tell anything about the size. If its 60 mm on the compressor side then you might be able to push it to 500 rwhp, just know that the Turbo would be maxed out. Also the eaxhaust side is really important also, it would need at least a p trim exhaust wheel and minimum .96a/r. Try to get some measurements from the Guy if possible. Again if it is 60 mm its on the small side for a single Turbo setup, but two would work excellent. Get some measurements of the inducer and exducer on both the compressor and the turbine.

I bet the seller means 60-1... That'd be more believable on a 5.0 setup.
