Default MD321T on 2.0, will it be a lag monster?

Have a MD321T which may need a rebuild so might have a billet wheel fitted, not a ideal turbo on a 2.0 but anybody running this set up? Set up will be forged CDB, gt spec headers, upgrade injecters, not sure on what work will be done to the V5 sti heads yet.

I had a non billet 'T. on my 2.0 Sti Bug, certainly no 'lag monster'. Buzzing above 3krpm and it was fine, below 2k it wouldn't pull a rattle from a baby's hand. When it gave up the ghost I replaced it with an SC46 which immediately gained 40bhp. This really gets going around 3krpm and pulls hard to the red line. This is another turbo supposedly not suitable for 2.0 engines.

460BHP with a drop of meth mapped by the late great JGM on a V3 STI no AVCS, pulls like a train in very gear, no lag no worries just do it.
