Default will this turbo make 500-550rwhp?

I bought an ebay GT45 turbo with the intentions of putting it on a lq9, with can and springs. This will be my first turbo build, so I'm not looking for much. Anything in between 5-600rwhp will be great for now. This won't be going in a truck,but it will be for streets. I know it's on the small side compared to what I've been reading others have. Thanks in advance


Specs Compressor Size: Inlet = 4 3/16", Inducer = 68.7MM, Exducer = 97.8 MM, Trim = 69,A/R = 0.66, Intake (ID / OD) = 2.25" / 3.25"


Turbine: Outlet = 4", Turbo flange = T4, Downpipe flange = 3.5" V-band, Inducer = 87.4 MM, Exducer = 77 MM,Trim = 92, A/R = 1.05

The power should be there. What PSI are you planning on?

Where you running it on a 6.0l?

Other things can effect how a turbo spools as well, such as the gearing and stall.

1.05 A/R Housing on the turbine is a little big for a 68 mm turbo but it definitely has the power potential off 500+ hp depending on other mods though

a 6.0l will have no problem spooling a GT-45,, we have one a 350 sbc in a vega and is the best bag for the buck turbo out there
