Default Would this turbo work for me?

T4 70mm Turbo
Garrett Internals:
Compressor:
70mm / 62 trim wheel
4" Inlet / 2.5" Outlet

Turbine:

I have a 99 WS6 with Cartek Heads and Cam. I want to do a rear mount turbo, is this too big?

Less LSA would benefit you if you can't decrease the static compression w/gaskets, pistons, chambers, etc. It'd lower your dynamic compression a tad which is all that really matters anyways. The problem is, the less lobe separation you fuel injected guys get, the choppier the idel is. So it'll sound really mean getting more overlap in there to bleed off some pressure. Gotta make up which is more important. You'd be best off getting some good dished pistons and having the chambers ported out a little to get more volume in there though.

I think you would want to go a little bigger. Also, post up your cam specs.
