    Default Too big of a turbo?

    I bought a T3 off craigslist a week ago that is the cold side of GNX turbo (.63 A/R) and the hot side of a Mustang SVO (.60 A/R) and I am not sure of the trim. I have a 95 civic with a B16 and a short log manifold, so is this turbo going to be too big? I haven't seen it yet but my brother said it's huge. I know they spool up nice on the Ford 2.3L but that's a significantly bigger engine. I just don't want something that isn't gonna spool up until 4k rpm.

    yeah, that's why I say I don't want something that is going to spool up so late. Sorry, I guess my phrasing is confusing.
