Need advise for Turbo on a SS/SC

I decided to build a nitrous engine for my Camaro , so Im left with all my Turbo stuff . The Turbo's I have are Garret T3 .60 trim's . If fesible I wanna use one of them on my SS While I have knowledge and ability to fab my own turbo kit .....I dont know enuff about them to actually select a proper turbo for my car .

How appropriate or ( in-approiate) would the Turbo I listed be for my SS ? I dont need help or advise in any other aspect of this swap other the Turbo sizing itself .

Depends on the power you're aiming for and where you're looking for your full spools at? Do you want more top end power but nothing rediculously lagged?

I'd say step it up to a T3/T4, my opinion.

I would be using a cometic headgasket and studs and thats it for the engine . I would wanna be between 300-330 wp . I will have HP tuners to tune with ....and a little lag on the street would not bother me . On a stock 2.0 engine where will the Turbo I have wanna make its power ?

The 331 ci mustang these were in they were making 13 psi . I assume they will boost more in my 2.0 ? Im not looking to buy a different Turbo at this point , if the one I have wont work for me I will jus sell it all and stick with the plans I had for the supercharger .

Well just to let you know, me and the ecotecforum.com guys have been discussing an Turbo FAQ, going to the "nitty gritty" on actual facts, no BS, all facts. I was going to write it up but I was going to get some help from other members for some areas that I want more detailed information on. I'm even thinking of using pictures and photoshopping with pointing at certain areas but I'm going to keep this as much ECOTEC related as possible.

I'm kinda in the same boat, but I wanna do this while keeping the Eaton bolted on. I'm having trouble finding the right turbo and pulley size combo. I've had a Holset hx35 and 3.6" pulley as one reccomendation so far. I've noticed Donna went with a T3/T04E and a 3.0" pulley. Anyone else have any ideas?

Ditch the T3 Super 60. It's old proven technology, but there are 1000 newer turbos that spool quicker and provide more flow than that turbo for sure. The guys at Dezod know there stuff about turbo. They build systems for a couple of cars. They customized one for me on my Civic sometime ago....
