Default 2005+ GT Turbo information article

I was browsing around earlier a few weeks back and came across an article about turbo sizing. I think it was in MM&FF, but I can't for the life of me find the article. I'm looking for it to answer this question:
Would the 76mm turbo be big enough to cause any counter-productive work if it were installed in place of the 60 mm one. I think it is, but if it isn't, there are a couple of options I have to buy a kit for much cheaper. I'd even consider just buying the kit anyway, and just pawning off the 76 and use it to buy a 60 or 62 mm. If anyone happens to know of that article, or have an answer, it'd be greatly appreciated!

You'd be better to go with a 67mm.

if its going on a stock 4.6l yea it will be too much and take way too long to spool if your looking to stay in the 500 range go 61mm , 600 67mm , 700+ 76mm ect.

Yea I was always planning on a 60-62 mm, since I'm just looking to safely max out the stock block, I just couldn't remember if the 76 was going to have adverse effects.
Any idea how difficult it'd be to sell the 76mm, or how much money I could get for a barely used one?

You'd need a built block to run the 76mm.

Here's a link to the article. Good read. I had a 67 before the 76 and noticed a lag difference between the two on the street. Would imagine lag would be even more pronounced between 60 and 76.
