I don't want to ask this but....
Okay, newb question from me, but I've only worked with d-series and we are about to order our first turbo for a b-series.
Heres the scoop. B16 in a 94 Coupe. Looking for a decent mid to top-range turbo. Want to hit 250whp stock on a fairly safe tune at 8-10psi. Might have the need to do a mild build on the motor with the same turbo.
What really should we use. We want a t3/t4 or t3/t04 hybird, but what A/R? .60 or .70. What stage wheel. We are looking at the turbos from West-Coast if the Classifieds for 399.00. Any suggestions?

for 250 whp at 8-10psi you need a t3/t4 60
a nice holset wouldnt hurt either and its probably much cheaper

If you're only shooting for 250ish you could probably find a turbo that will take you from low-mid RPM's to top RPM's.
I'd suggest T3/T04b would work fine for 250 HP. T3/T04e .57 .63 would be fine too. I'd do the T3/T04b though. Cheaper and it will meet your goals at relitively low boost. Maybe not at 10 psi though...

I would say t3/t4 either 57 trim or 60 trim both will allow for good power and people make 250-300 whp on 8-12 psi on them all day, 57 trim i think has a lower rating for hp, the ones for sale from westcoast for $399 would get you there, but they are 47 trim, so they will flow a little less air, so you may have to turn the boost up a little, but they will get you there none the less and its a pretty good deal on a turbo
