There's all different sizes for the T3/T4. The more popular one to use is the T3/T4e and you can get digfferent trim sizes for whatever your power needs are. I'm running a T3/T4e .57trim on my 2000LS and it starts to spool about 3000 and will hit full boost by 4k. Great sized turbo for an LS IMO. I also liked the T3 .60/.48 I used to have. Spooled a little sooner but it packed a nice punch for street driving.

wouldnt the 60 trim spool alot later than the 57 trim?...and how much PSI should i be boosting on a stock b18b1 to get 350 hp...and around 250+ lbs of torque...and if not stock what should i do to my bottom end?

Yeah the 60 trim would spool later, but would be capable of more power. Your pushing it looking for 350whp on a stock engine and that turbo, but it can be done. It's hard to say what psi your turbo would need to run in order to get that 350. Alot of it has to do with the tuning and other aspects of your turbo setup. Definately get that thing dynotuned properly. If your planning on building your block/bottom end to handle the 350whp+, look into some forged rods and forged pistons. If you've got the money, sleeve your block, but if not the stock sleeves have handled 500+ hp. I'm not saying it lasted long, but again, tuning is going to be very important.
edit> Also, you'll find that the LS head is going to restrict you of airflow as compaired to a Vtec head. If your serious about staying with the LS head, then I'd look into a ported and polished head, good set of cams (Crower makes some specific for LS turbo setups) and a good intake manifold to increase the airflow. You could probably reach your power goals with the stock head but it's going to be tricky.

No no, I never said to switch to LS-Vtec. It can be done with the LS but your going to probably need to do some modifications to get there. It would be easier to achieve your power goals with an LS-Vtec, but thats up to you.
