My PTE SCM 61 spools pretty quick, better than I expected. I 'm not sure what exact RPM it hits 20lb. My boost gauge is away from the dash, never simultaneously looked at them. It is supposed to have a decent power potential too. I 'm on stock internals. My .02 rpm.
 
Have u looked into agp turbos. Right now on sale for 699 you can get either the rs49t which is a 50 trim and will only take u into 400's but it does reach 20 by 3700 or 3800 rpm's. Also for same prive you can get rs69t which is a 56 trim i belive and i think it will take u into low 500's i belive. Both great street turbos. They have the best warranties u can ask for on any performance part.
 
Wanted to correct myself cuz i was wrong about rs69t becasue first od all tis called a rs60t and here are the specs
RS60
Want to take the next step? The RS60 is for those interested in some serious timeslips, and still have a pretty wicked "street" car. We have already been able to get 534 whp and 445ft/lbs to the ground on one of our cars. All that power and the ability to reach 30psi by 4000rpm, this hybrid is a serious contender.

-60 lb/min compressor
-60-1 compressor wheel
-76 trim T31 (stage 3) turbine wheel
-T04E (3" inlet, 2" outlet) polished compressor housing.
-Setup for manifold mounted or O2 mounted external wastegate
(internal wastegate optional)
RS49
The next step and the most popular street/strip T3/T4 hybrid combination. Our vehicles have been able to reach 20psi of boost at 3700-3800rpm. We have been able to reach over 400whp on pump gas with this turbo.

-49 lb/min compressor
-50 trim T04E compressor
-76 trim T31 turbine wheel (stage 3)
-T04E (3" inlet, 2" outlet) polished compressor housing
-Setup for manifold mounted or O2 mounted external wastegate
(internal wastegate optional)
 
Around 4200, 11's will be a little harder for me because I am auto without a high stall torque converter, but all turbo and no spray off the line I should still hit low 12's, before i got my 12.1-12.2 whatever it was on 15lbs and a 100 shot, thats extremely low boost for that turbo, as it doesnt even start to wake up until 20+ lbs. Hopefully by friday night I will have my wideband o2 in and will be able to tune alot better and see what I can pull out of it with no spray and cranking up the boost. To give you an idea off boost though, at 18lbs, bogging off the line through the 60 ft, 3.2 second 60 ft (because I am an auto and cannot launch like you can and had no high stall and a horrible tune) I ran a 14.3 at 108. Trap speed was there, with a 5 spd launch that could have been alot better numbers. Just got a motor back in my car though and going to trry and get some good numbers out of it friday night if I can get it all tuned out and turn up the boost.
 
Go bigger then the 50-trim, you'll end-up ditching the 50-anyway. Turbo lag is way over-rated, full boost is just a downshift away.
 
Personally i would stay with a 50trim either the AGP RS49, or the bullseye T04E 50trim they are the same anyway. Your fwd so you have to consider if you want to roast the tires in all 3 gears. Don't bother going bigger unless you want to make more power but since your on stock internals the 50trim will provide more than enough to get you to the 400whp level. Make sure to go the external wastegate route you will be better off.
