Quick turbo question

So I've been looking around for a turbo for the ole' 8. I'm looking at the GT3271. What are your opinions on that? Too big? Too small? It's got to be reliable, it's still going to be my daily driver, so I can't run obnoxious amounts of boost or anything. I'm not looking to make a drag racing car, just one that I can drive around with, have some fun, and maybe take it out to a track a couple times this summer. So any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

It has a nice aspect ratio between turbine and compressor wheels. Probably a better choice for 300ish rwhp than more of the popular turbos on here. If you want us to look into pricing just shoot us an email or pm. We are a Garrett dealer and we actually stock most turbos.

I looked into this unit today. Not a real good choice. I would stick with a T3/T4 To4E over this anyday. Not only would it be cheaper, you have a selection of turbine housings, and discharges. That GT32 is a bulky unit, and its only available with an internal wastegate. T3/T4s are available either way...
