Default Turbo question

I am getting a T3/T4 60-1 .63 A/R. My question is should i go with the Stage 5 wheel or the Stage 3. I have heard that alot of people were unhappy with the stage 3 and upgraded to the 5. what are your thoughts. And please dont comment on how good the GT25R is. I am looking for top end power.

YOu get full boost around 3600 rpms and I have a stage 5 and don't spool with the same exact turbo until past 4000 rpm and thats major lag for my car . I love the top end power though, it always want more power with this turbo. I ran a lot of cars that have top end power and I hang them or rapem .

the GT25R has nothing to give to any T3 T4 in the top end power department... Choosing a T3/T4 over the GT25 just for top end really dosent justify it in my mind, ask Jay (PSI240SX) about his green silvia.

I believe you need a stage 5 wheel exhaust and that might have to be custom on a GT25
