Will this turbo work? New edge mustang

I am starting to put some parts together for my new edge mustang swap. Car will be mostly street driven with occasional trips to the track. Looking to run low 9s. 3200lbs, lq4 or possibly 5.3 sbe. Will this turbo be good enough? Its close to my location and seems to be a good price. Here are the specs off the add:

Starting from a base Borg Warner S400 we have fitted this with a 80mm extended tip billet high flow compressor wheel

Compressor cover fresh polish Compact S410 Compressor cover (small vband out)

Wheel assembly balanced. severe duty bearings + 360 thrust

Compressor wheel - 80mm inducer / 113mm exducer / 117.55 Exended tip
Turbine wheel - 77.5mm/87mm
Compressor inlet - 5" hose Ported Shroud
Compressor outlet - 2.5" v-band
Turbine Inlet - Divided T4 1.10 A/R
Turbine outlet for 4"v-band

Will it work better with an lq4 or 5.3? and anybody know of a turbo kit for the new edge with ls swap? I know on3 makes a kit for fox body but not 99-04 stangs with ls swap?

Hard to say without a power goal. It'll get you farther with a 5.3 than a 6.0. That turbine will choke before you run out of compressor.

People have ran 8s on 6.0s with less compressor and turbine at roughly that same weight. Stick with a fairly small cam, it'll be fine.

It is just what it says..... A turbine has an inducer and exducer just like the compressor

I was planning on running jfr 218 cam.
So will this turbo get me there or should I consider something else? I rather have more than not enough. Keep in mind this will still be street driven

The ceiling will be higher with the 5.3 vs the 6.0 due to the small turbine. It will get you to 800hp on either though. 80mm is a bit big, but it'll work if it needs to.
