if you can get a good deal on it do it! it will be nice and make a sweet amount of midrange. you can get your psi goals out of it as well.

uhm those hatches are light as heck and can do high 12's in the quarter mile with 215whp. Not sure what you drive, but if you drive a hatch, you'll do just fine with either one. If you chasis is alot heavier, you better up the boost on your LS.

To reiterate, T3 .60/.48 will spool just fine on the LS. On the b16, full boost around 3.5-4k and all the way to redline. Boost level does not drop at all.

Yep, thats the first turbo I ever ran on an LS. I loved it honestly. It started spooling about 3000RPM and would have full boost by 4k. Great size for an LS. SInce then I've stepped up to a T3/T4e and am just as happy.

You have just changed my mind about the turbo I want...about how much power should this turbo make at 10psi on a stock b16?

That should work nicely we hooked up a B16a2 with a .48 .60 and it does real nice. But not near as good as the .50 .70 on the B20.

Not exactly sure how much hp it can handle but it will hold up to around 300whp.

Last dyno I did was around 207whp untuned at 7psi. I will be dynoing again in the new future and should be putting down around 230-240 at 8psi and hope to hit at least 250whp with 10-12psi.

I'll let you know though. On the LS, depending on the boost expect about 30whp less than the b16's at almost any boost level but just realize you will have much more torque.
