For the money, the d15 turbo will make the most power. Good luck.

Ummm swap in the b16 and gimme that 1.5! I'd say just boost the 1.5. Boost that ---- and if it blows then put the b16 in.

If this is your first turbo project, definately boost the D15. You'll have a blast.

The D15 will kick the poop outta every B-swap there is minus the $5000 ITR swap.

not by much...---- it might be slower than a gsr hatch. but yeah the rush of your first turbo kit is amazing, and it only gets better.

and on top of being "slightly faster", the daily driven torque is light-miles better.
