Default Need advice with turbo size

Finally I have decided to buy a new turbo but im not sure what to buy. I have a 91 CRX with a B18A. I'm interested in two turbo's T3 super 60 and T3/T4. I want a turbo that will reach full boost by 3-3800. I also want it to be dependable up too 300-380HP Thats my goal)

Also for those with turbo LS motors let me know what you have and if your happy with your turbo.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

PS-Sorry for the long post.

The super 60 is probably the better choice if you want it to spool quickly but i doubt youll be able to hit your goal 400 with it. Youll have to make a compromise between quick spooling and high horsepower

I'm not really looking too hit 350-400 HP right now. Maybe somewhere in the near future. Wouldn't a T3/T4 have fast spool too but with more power on the top end.

It wont spool as quickly im guessing full boost at 4200 somwhere in that area for the t3 t4. I have a b18a1 in my 90 hatch and id prolly go with the 60 cuz the ls dies up top anyways so mine as well haul *** down low and if your not happy with the 60 you just sell it and get the t3/t4

Well Phil beat me to this one.

Nice car and all, but can you reduce the image size just a little bit for better page fitment? Thanks.

The super 60 will have plenty of mid and topend for the b18a trust me
