take the ebay T3. Just look it over and retighten everything and toss some loctite for some security and then run a restrictor on the feed line. Not saying the IHI is bad but atleast if you decide to go with a different turbo you don't have to get a different manifold compared to if you had IHI and their goofy triangular flanges.

i'll get some pics and info on the other turbo if i can, The thing about my setup is that I'm worried about the Turbo falling on it's face way to early, I usaully shift around 6500, and plan on running LS cams, and eventually a built LS head with crower 404, then i'll prolly shift at 7 or higher depending on where the power is on the dyno, I've heard that the VF28 is maxes out at about 7, But i do eventually want to run a VF34, ( with an extaernal wastegate) which, should I keep my IHI, I'll allready be setup for, for the most part and again, My GOAL with this car for right now is to have about 190 RELIABLE wheel horse power, i drive it everyday, and it needs to be maintained that way, My main focus with the IHI is just a fun little street car that runs high thirteens for CHEAP, that is the name of the game right guys?, thanks again for all your input, just keep in mind your helping another happy ------- turbo his honda, and there's nothing wrong with that haha

Well would you be getting a good deal on the vf34 down the road? If so just stick with the IHI. It'll probably fall on it's face on a b20 but if you shift earlier then it won't matter too much. Besides if you'll be upgrading soon anyways this one will just get you started.
