I'm not really sure what the heck you want out of this....are you looking to make more power, up your boost, or get traction? The size of your turbo doesnt necessarily affect the amount of boost you can safely run. You need to have correct supporting mods to support the ability to run higher boost with the correct turbo.

Is this a street car or a dedicated track bitch? A more organized and detailed list of mods would also help...

my boosted stock gsr broke the tires loose thru second, so if you are fully built you have a lot of room to go. are you sayin you have a 60 trim turbo? if so, you can spin that to around 18-19psi before it starts becoming unefficient. you need to get tuned for that power though, otherwise you will have a fully built paperweight (personal experience.... twice).

The size of the turbo determines what you will be using it for ex: daily driver, weekend warrior, or track car. there are two things you need to consider before choosing your turbo, how much boost and how quick of a spool you want.

A smaller turbo would increase spooling time but would only boost so much due to its small physical size.

A larger turbo would have a bit of a lag due to its large size and the fact that inertia is involved but in the end you would get great psi that no smaller turbo could produce.

Study turbo compressor maps so that you can choose the perfect set up because it would be a waste of your money if you bought a turbo that didnt work to the best of its potential because it was either too big or too small for your engine.

Once you learn how to read compressor maps along with plugging in equations, you'll be able to pick the perfect sized turbo without making the mistake of buying the wrong size and losing out on money that could have been spent more efficiently.
