Nothing wrong with the Turbo but it depends on your application as to whether or not it will be suitable. If you're not planning on rebuilding your engine with forged internals and strengthening, then this turbo is probably a bit bigger than what you'll be able to effectively use.

well ive been told holsets are very good for an m20. but im running a stage 2 cossie 4x4 garret t3 on mine and it is very responsive with next to no lag and holds power quite well, so id say a t3 is a good choice for now
