Default Best turbo for a B18C

I am in the middle of trying to choose the right turbo for my kit, I have a 95' GSR the engine is the stock B18C..I would like to make 8-10 PSI and have to turbo spool around 3000-3500 rpm. hoping for close to 300whp
any help would be great...

Do your homework...

If you want some suggestions, check out the T3/T04E 50, 57, and 60 trim turbos. All of those will easily get you your WHP goal.

If money isn't an issue, a Garrett T3 GT3076R is killer on a B18C. It will make 300 horsepower on pump gas with it's eyes closed. Plus if you ever build the motor, turn up the boost in the future, you will net 400+ horsepower easily.

I'm running a Turbonetics T3/T4 60 trim cold side, .63 hotside. It treats me well, I'm putting 297 whp and it spools fast due to the small exhaust wheel.

Do you think the small .48 hot side will be a problem on the upper rpms?
