i would only use a t4 for 480-520 ish 400-450 i think is just a little bit laggy when there is a t38 to do the job that little bit better
i was always taught that spec the engine to just above the bhp you want this way you will get the most responsive engine

yes i no wat you mean a roller earing t4 is good but if your looking for 450 bhp why use a turbo capable of 520 hp when there is a t38 that gives you that little bit more throttle response and drivability !
but each to there own everyone has a differnt idea of how they would like there car to be

true, i normally decide what bhp i want and find the smallest turbo to achieve the BHP. but some people love that massive push back to the seat type boost

Don't want to be a bore, but what other mods have you made? May effect turbo choice.
