you can use the cold side and wheel for an upgrade to other ihi turbos. such as mazda/probe/subarus.

I agree with them... The Thunderbird rhb52 should be big enough. It's a little bigger, with more psi than the "common" rhb52's. Which... If we're all being honest, are only descent at upgrades for typical skid-steer (Bobcat) turbo diesels & motorcycles.
On the stock spring the tbird rhb52 should be doing 1 bar anyway. The stock spring on it is 14-14.5 psi. They can do 20psi... But 1) They're old... I wouldn't trust it 2) They're small as ----... It's going to be very ineffecient.

Do a search of my posts here on HMT and you'll find all the information you need on IHI's and T Birds.
Just an FYI-Here is a video of a guy going 13.3 with nothing more than a stock VJ11 and a T Bird wheel and compressor:

ignore the bashing and just put it on the car... you can't lose, you already have the turbo, if you don't like it, take it off and upgrade the wheel/buy a new turbo...
its not a big deal.
