I have a chance to pickup a needs building: T3 Tb03 .42A/R for 125 Can...
What characteristics do you guys think this turbo will provide?..
stock wastegate is 6-7psi and although it's the only turbo i've ever held in my hands... it seemed TINY...

Do you mean it need rebuilding? if so don't touch it. You can buy a used working turbo that is bigger for that price.

it is a pretty good size turbo, ull spool at around 2500rpms, but i dont think its worth it, might run out of breath past 7

I am pretty sure your rev limiter kicks in before 7k. I agree on the run out of breath thing too.
