I think so, but I would step up to a T3/T4. They are around the same price and the larger T-4 housing won't need to work as hard to push the same boost as the smaller T-3 compressor. Also, at a given boost level the charge temp should be cooler compaired to the smaller T-3. I would love to strap mine to a dyno here but it would be a waste unless I had a manual, the auto would just slip the whole time. I really don't know what kind of power that engine pushes at say 15lbs of intercooled boost along with decent fueling. Stock it was pretty clean burning, low boost and no intercooler and it was what, 104 hp or 110? I forget. Either way, it shouldn't be hard to get to that level. You may need head studs to hold the boost it will take to make 180hp though.
