Go for it! It will only hurt if you raise the boost too high.

love the front mount i would suggest it to everyone with a IX fist without a problem with stock piping or injen set up. you also get to keep the bumper bar on the IX. It completely fills the grill all the way to the holes in the Ix bumper.

Homie, you can put the biggest turbo ever made on your IX and not hurt it. **** it might never spool, but what ever. To answer your question, if you have a professional tune your car, you will be just fine.

Why a 60 trim? I recommend going with one of the proven options: BR 20G-9, BB or non-BB 50 Trim, GT3076R, or GT35R.

Agree, is there a reason why you want to go with the 60trim?

Umm...put a 42R on your stock block and run 14PSI and see what happens to your motor. Do you know how much the stock turbo flows and do you know how much the 42R flows. You have to have a motor that can handle that kind of power. O2+Fuel+Spark=Power and your block can only handle so much power. So if you through enough air at it to make 500WHP and tune it to that number I guarantee you that you will spin a bearing.
