Re:Which is a better start?
well im not looking for massive boost...just some nice power/reliability.Vtec isnt giving me a boner anymore.Everyone agree on the t3/t4 then?If I externally wastegate it Im not planning on exceeding 7-7.6 psi.Im probably gonna noob it and use an fmu as well.All those uberdata write-ups are too overwhelming for my roasted mind.This is just the beginning though.Basicly Im trying to boost without blowing up my motor.My nissan homies always told me that a t25 is a great choice for low boost.I think id be satisfied with 220-250whp.Is that an achievable goal with a t25 on a b17a?So fellas which turbo can satisfy my 220whp thirst w/o uber or tuning,yet not destroy my dohcvtec?T3,t3/t4, or the hair dryer t25?

Re:Which is a better start?
i'd stay away from a t25 on any b-series, turbo is way to small, and it's going to really become inefficient on the top end. ---- it would probably take 15 psi on that little ****** to make 230whp, if you wanna go budget get a T3 .60/.63 its a great turbo (and its internaly gated). They come off ford mustang svo's/tbirds and meurker xr4ti's. They are kinda hard to find since alot of people want them. But you would have no problem making 225-235whp at 8psi on that turbo and tuned good.
