Default Looking for opinions on a turbo

Hey guys,

I am completely new to the home made game, and I waned to ask a few questions. I managed to get my hands on a T3 and a T25, and I was wondering what peoples opinions were on which would work better for my application;

99 Civic DX with a D16. I plan to start off slow with about 5lb of boost and a FMU, then work my way up as I can afford more engine management / IC, etc. I figure on topping out at about 8psi, and the car will be driven about 150miles a week.

Which turbo do you think would work best in this case? Also, is there a place I could go to look at the specs on these turbos? I am concerned about setting the wastegate up for such low boost and was wondering what the factory specs were.

Thanks.

The T3 is used off of another D16. seeing as how I am on a shoestring budget I want to keep things as safe as possible so as not to blow the motor.
