Default 6.0 lq4 turbo?

I'm starting to collect parts to do a 6.0 lq4 build I came across this turbo forsale and was wondering whats you guys oppinion is on it.

Here's the specs. the seller has listed
Garrett turbo T6 flange comp side76.6 inducer 106.6 exducer, turbine 83 96 major with a 1.08 a/r

I'm trying to make like 650-750rwhp on pump gas out of a basicly stock 05' lq4 with good rod bolts, push rods and valve springs.

Just wondering if this turbo will get me where I want to be and spool decently etc.
also the car is mostly a street car but I want to race it as much as possible. Thanks

I'm not sure what kind of wheel it has in it or how old it is.

Should get you close, but the bottom end of your stock motor won't last long at those kind of numbers.

I thought a stock LQ4 boosted could handle 800whp all day long as long as the tune is good?

Try searching TheBlackPlague. He's a member on here and put 630hp through a 4L80 with a stock 6.0 with a small cam and a TV7401 turbo which only has a 71mm compressor wheel.

If that were the case most of us wouldnt be needing forged motors. 800whp is almost 950 at the crank(assuming auto and 9" ). You start getting around 600whp and things can get a little hairy. The tune is important but theres no way a stock motor will take 3 times its n/a power for very long.

9's on a stock bottom end isn't hard if the tune is right and the suspension mainly are right. I have full suspension, and I mean full besides my sway bar and stock shocks. My sway bar ends are poly though. With a shitty shitty 1.79 60' my car ran a 10.39 at 138. With a 1.5 60' I'd say that's good for 9.9x's all day. I just drove the car for the first time today after changing the gears from 3.08 to 3.55 and stall from 3200 to 3800 and it takes off like a totally different car now. It will really be interesting to see what it can do now...I also have adj. coil overs up front which help my weight transfer out a lot.
