Default 5.3 drift car turbo size???!

hello, im building a 350z with an turbo L33 5.3 engine. however I do not know what size turbo I should go with. originallly I thought a turbonetic 7675 would do but not I am worried about lag. I am looking for a single turbo 5.3 that has very little lag. I have looked at turbo maps for the engine but that only tell me efficiency. I need to know from people who have run turbos on a 5.3. I would like to have full boost at a lower rpm and have it responsive to a throttle that is constantly going from WOT to very little throttle. your input is appreciated thank you!

Get something a little smaller than 76mm. A billet 66 will still make tons of power and spool a lot faster.

My pt 7175 rear mount l33 was spooling in the low 2ks and peked at 6000 pulled strong to 6500 no problem. And made 840. Nice turbo for that motor.

Borg S366 with the 73mm turbine wheel and a 1.05 T4 housing.

I realize this forum may not be the best for drift build advise but there has to be some drifters on here. The borg Warner seems like a good option. I was looking at maybe the billet s366 .91 ar t4 too small for a single?

The ETR-HO S366 that Forced Inductions offers is good for like 920 flywheel HP. How is that too small?

I do not see an etr-ho available in s366 spec, but that sounds like it should fit my needs. Otherwise this is the one I was looking at
