I have a Bullseye 50 trim .55 A/R turbo. I am planning on a stock block turbo setup looking for 350 whp. Is my turbo too small for my goals?

Not a bad size. Should start to spool when you start the car, thats always nice.

I've seen that compressor wheel make 500whp. With the small exhaust side you've got it won't make that much, but it's definitely plenty for your power goals, and has room for later on when you decide 350whp isnt enough.

i was shooting low because it is a smaller turbo. i wasnt sure if it could take me over 400 hp. low end boost is perfect for a s2000. i just wander if it will make power to 8.5k rpm's or drop off way before. compared to a greddy turbo, is this one better suited?

Everything I've been able to find suggests that the bullseye 50 trim is a T04E 50 trim compressor wheel stuffed into a B housing. It's not a tiny turbo...

I never had 400+ whp as a goal of mine. Dont get me wrong, it would be awesome to have that much power, but in reality, I dont have use for it and probably not a good enough driver to handle that kind of power, just being honest. If this turbo has the ability to get me to 400 hp, then i know it will accomplish what I am looking for. I just want more low-end and midrange power.
