You could always go with the GT-K 500 which is one step down on the turbine side but the exact same compressor. This would gurantee there's no lag but if you wanted to build more the smaller turbine wheel might to flow enough for you. Its a tough call but I think you'll be fine with the larger GT-K 550 turbine especially if you want to make more power in the future.

Hey Robert, That's great. I don't think it's a tough call. They are in the same price range. As long as I'm safe from surging.

Thanks

I sincerely doubt you will surge on either of those units from a surge line point of view. Not with that motor.
