ideal turbo b16
I know this issue has been brought up a million times but what is the best turbo for a b16 8-10psi daily drivin. I looked at the compressor maps and it looks like the t3/t04b 57 trim 60 ar on the compressor side is the best fit for my engine. What do you guys think; would you recommend another turbo.
My set up is going to look like
450 dsm injectors
shitbirds small tubular manifold
turboedit
CCA fmi
dsm bov
stock internals

If youre boosting that high on a stock b16, I'd highly suggest you get a cometic headgasket to at least drop your compression ratio a tad bit. B16 are notorius for their high compression ratio... I think its like 10.2. With the Cometic headgasket drops it down to about 9.5 or lower. Its not going to solve all your problems but it is extra insurance for that HUGE turbo of yours.
Just an FYI I'm running a T3 .60/.48 on my b16 and spools up around 4k and pulls to redline.

Its not high if you have proper engine management. Im also at 6000' so the air is thinner so me boosting 10lbs is the same as someone boosting 7lbs at sea level. Lower compression head gaskets are gay. Its a cheap crappy way to lower compression but its only a little bit more money to do the job right with pistons. I might save a little more money and get eagle rods and pistons and then up the boost. Whats the best turbo for the b16?

If you're going with stock internals, get a smaller turbo.. Not like you're going to ever see 20psi.. a t3/t4 hybrid would be a waste. Not to mention this is sounding kinda budget build, so a cheaper turbo would be better fit for u.

Ambient here in denver 12 psia

at 10psig boost
Denver 22psia
Sea Level 24.7 psia
In denver you can boost 2.7 pounds more and have the same absolute pressure meaning same density assuming temps are the same meaning same power output. The only difference is your compressor is running a slightly higher pressure ratio.
Think befor you speak...or at least drive up here in denver and see if you feel a difference. Also im getting my turbo from down2turbo on ebay, rebuilt for like 400 with any wheel i want
