I'v been looking at some turbo set ups and found a turbo, but unsure if it will be good on a ls1, its a t4 turbo commonly used on rx7's, this turbo i'm looking at is of a soarer drag car, after reading a couple of things i'm unsure if it will be ok, have read it is only suited to high revving rotary, 4 and 6 cylinder engines, and read that the turbine is too big and won't produce power till too late in rev range, also comes with an external wastegate and an apexi blow off valve, apparently was producing around 10psi mark.
the specs are from what iv found on the net for the turbo going buy the part no:

The “T4 Rotary” turbo is suited for perfectly for high exhaust energy motors. It is a perfect fit to the Mazda rotary motors. Larger Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, 4 and 6 cylinders seeking 475HP+ with very fast spool. This combination of AR (Hot/Cold) results in a quick spooling turbo for the Mazda motors. Other motors should consider resizing the exducer housing to change lower the RPM at which peak boost is achieved. We offer a wide range of supporting add-ons: Intercoolers, blow-off valves, supply lines, inlets, stainless intercooler tubing, intakes, waste gates, turbo manifolds, headers, etc.
