I just got back from the shop that is installing my turbo, and they said that they thought it may be to small for my d16z6! Anybody ever had experience with this turbo, or know anybody that had one on their car? Any info would be great.

Tell Me Turbo

its not too small, unless your gonna boost over 10psi.

I know its small, but does it give you a good amount of power, or does it feel close to stock? Have you raced a muffstain with it yet? If so what happened.

You can get more power from a larger turbo, but it will take longer to spin up to get boost. It's all up to you. Go with the IHI if you want fun street driving, or go with a larger one if you're that concerned about it. I'm using an IHI VI34 RHB5 on d16a6. Full boost at 2200 RPM (7-8 PSI) and all the way to 7000 rpm
