I love when people just buy any turbo and think its going to work well with their car. Picking a turbo involves more than buying the biggest one you can find.
Truck turbos have huge Turbine housings which would take quite a while to spool in a 3L.

Your last comment shows your have got a bit more to learn about turbos and their application. The turbos max PSI of 50 has nothing to do with what you will eventually run on your 2JZ. This is why the person asked you if you will be running a smaller Hot side.

JspecSC3 yes that turbo is for Trucks. http://www.holset.co.uk/mainsite/files/
