It will spool too late. Not going to be fun to drive.ir you want to go holset , rather hx35. A correctly sized turbo will always beet a turbo that is too big for its application. My sx with a hx35 out performs our gtr. It also has better boost response. Are you looking for a budget turbo or a good setup?

Thanks for the reply @ vipercape i heard the HX35 is an insane turbo,im working on a buget turbo for now but if i had the cash i would go for the precision 6262 or Garret GT3571R :) but i will not get the HX55 as i dont want to start boosting next week lol.
