Re:turbo b16 small turbo q's
I dont have any experience in the subject but Ive read that they spool pretty fast.Also it might not give you too much up top.I guess it would be like a "D" with a t25 
Thats info I have gatherd from this forum.

Re:turbo b16 small turbo q's
I had a shitty little IHI on my B16 with numbers something like that for quite a while. It was fun becuase I had Insta-spool, but it would back up to the point where you could feel the power stop at about 6000 rpm. Above that, the turbine was just to damn small, I was acually loosing power above 6000 because it just couldn't flow enouph exhaust.

Re:turbo b16 small turbo q's
I Looked and I looked but I was not able to find the exact numbers...it is the turbo that is used in the APEXi kit for the sohc d15b motors. It REALLY tiny, espesially for a B16...it may have even been smaller that a .42 turbine.

Re:turbo b16 small turbo q's
Are you talking to me? Read the whole description, it's a stage 2 wheel, it spools as soon as possible WITHOUT running out on the top. All I am saying is, instead of just asking everyone what they think you should do, you should read, learn and make the desicion based on what you want. I have now run mid 12's with my setup, and I am very happy with it. If you like LOTS of top end for your ride, then so be it, but don't tell everyone else that your way is the only way or the best way just becuase you like it.
