Here is the turbo, it is a garrett t3/60-1 turbocharger. Here are the stats:
COMPRESSOR SPECS:T04S housing
flow: 61 lbs/min 781cfm
.70 A/R housing
60 TRIM wheel
TURBINE SPECS:T3
.63 A/R housing
HIGH FLOW 76 TRIM stg 3 wheel
oil lubricated centersection.
for use with external wastegate.
COMES STANDARD WITH 360 DEGREE THRUST BEARING!!!
supportable of 575whp!
With those stats, I assumed the turbo should start spooling at about 3000rpm and hit full boost at about 4000rpm. Does that sound right? Correct me if im wrong.

If it were a BB turbo than the spool would be around that quick however with the journal bearing you may be in around the 4500rpm range for full, strong spool.
Why don't you just by my ballbearing gt40 and be happy. https://www.hyundaiaftermarket.org/f...00whp-capable/
