Default another B18B Turbo Size? Thread

Im guessing the standard turbo would be a 16g for the b18b... however i want something that seemingly never spools.

i was looking at a 60/63 t3 t4 but it spools still in the 3k rpm range... the next biggest would be a T3/T4e right?

sorry i need to be spoon fed. im just looking for something that starts boosting in the 4.5k rpm range

'never spools' is standard hmt procedure.. 16g's are rare here. Holset hx35 would be your trend of the year answer.

spools to what boost level is a useful question. if you only want 5psi, the hx35 might get there. if you want 15psi, you are looking at more like 5k+ for full spool. then again, the b18 might flow a bit better than my dinosaw 2l :-) but not too much.

im not really looking to boost a ton of psi, its going to be a daily driven car. 12 pounds should be an option but this engines gotta last, not some maxed out 14b blow dryer ----. Im not looking for optimal performance, more just something that can pull HARD on the highway, but not so much a race car, or even 1/4 mile car. i basically dont care about turbo lag.

I ran a T3/TO4E .63/.50 50 trim with a stage II wheel. It spooled on my LS at about 3700. Great for a driver.
