Like others said, torque down low leads to preignition and/or rod snapping more than up high, so you will be limited, even if you want more torque fill down low.
I didn't mean no overhead, I meant a turbo that is in the middle of its usable range at the power potential of this engine and the fuel I have available. Turbos that are good for 275-440 hp, or what ever, being used for 275 hp seems like a waste.
