Default T3-T04B on a mostly stock 4.8?

A buddy of mine wants to put a T3-T04B on his 04' 4.8L. I know the T04B is good for 450rwhp, but can the truck run through a T3 exhaust housing? He isnt wanting to go huge with power, but he wants to get into the 330 rwhp range. He keeps bugging me to help him make the flanges, but i dont want to waist my time till i know if its even possible.

Thanks for any replies. Let the ripping begin.

If he only wants to have 330 rwhp I would think it would be ok. Lots of imports do it right. 330hp is the same amount of exhaust ruffly whether its comming out of a 1.8L or a 4.8L right?

Why not go a bit larger.

I was looking on ebay and you can get some pretty decent sized turbos for fairly cheap.

Just might as well... going to be about the same cost involved and he would get a lot more out of a larger one.

I'm sure he would go larger, but he already has the turbo kit sitting at his house.
