My first "Which turbo?" thread
So I'm gearing up for my first boosted ride this summer. Probably gonna get a 92ish civic, don't really care if its VTEC or not. Turbos I have been contemplating so far are:
14b
T3 .42/.48
T3 .48/.60
Couple of questions: Is a .42/.48 bigger than the 14b?
I don't mind lag, I would really love a .48/.60 but it's hard to find a good one cheap. If I end up getting the .42/.48 will it die out near top end? Shooting for 220 whp with uberdata

I don't know what a 14b is, but I do know that the compressor side of a T25 is .48. I'd assume the 14b is larger, but I have no clue.
I'd hold out to get a .48/.60. If not, I don't think a 14b would be too bad.

just go wtih the 14b untill you can get a T3, but save for a bigger size T3, like a super 60 or something. 14bs can push some pwoer, i kno by buddy is runnin about 14psi, but thats on a TSi...but its still a 14b
