Default New project, need new suggestions

Ok so instead of building my ls for my 93 teg, I bought a built ls/vtec with 9:1 je pistons, eagle rods, balanced bottom end, acl bearings and 95 gsr head. I need suggestions on what turbo to go with now. Im looking for around 250-275whp and full boost between 3.5-4k running 8-10 psi. So anyone with suggestions, no smartass comments, I already calculated some stuff to see what I should go with but I wanted some real life expirience to back it up. Been researching for 5 months so now im ready to get started. Thanks in advance! by the way will be running uberdata management

you bought a built ls/vtec and all you want is 250-275? With hopes like that you wont need a very big turbo.

keeping it moderate in the beginning, I spent alot of money on this damn thing and I dont want to blow it up as soon as I get it, looking at getting either the sc60 or sc61, run 8psi to get a feel for it, then jack it up to 10psi, I cant go too big anyways this is my daily plus for all the little ricers around here, that will be plenty to knock their socks off!
