Default Rear Mount Turbo

Hey guys, I wanted to ask you a question. My buddy and I are planning on doing a single rear turbo on his stock lq9 with a 4l60 that has a 3200 stall. He found a Master Power Turbo T70 with an .63 A/R online do you think this will be sufficiant enough for his 550-600whp goals? I think the A/R might be a little to small any input would be appreciated. Btw this is just his daily driver he doesn't plan on tracking it just wants a little more power with as little lag as possible

I think it will do 500 but will stop around 5k rpm

So he should be good with this setup for 500whp but nothing more correct?

I think he meant the exhaust side is really small, and will choke.

the .61 is a tade tiny. from what all the guys runnning rear mounts with "street" orientated cars, T70-T76 with .81 ars on 346 is pretty decent.
the .63 will spool really good, but will hurt top end. got to remember, you got a V8 not a IL4. It want to breathe. ALOT lol
if he want a decent street car, T70 with .81 would be a hell of a ride. especially with a 3200 stall. theres another guy on here thats running a T76 with .86 and he said it run great!

Thanks for the information I let him know. Now time to find a 76mm Turbo with a .81 AR. Any suggestions on what turbo to go with?
