Default Turbo b18

Hello all,
I've been lurking here for a while, and I think I'm finally going to take the leap into the turbo realm. I want something good for 10psi, that will spool REALLY fast. I do mostly road racing so I want smooth power delivery. Will a te04h turbo be a good option? I'm debating purchasing one from a member here, but want your input.
Thanx
Brent

P.S. If this needs to be moved, then just tell me.

The TE04H is way small in my opinion. Does it come from a 250HP car? -no.
most cars equipped with it made around 150 hp stock and when you manage to squeeze 200 HP from it, it doesn't last long because maxed out.

when i turbocharge a B18, i normally use the t3 60 trim 0.48/0.60 60 a/r. it spools up very crisp and never dies at high rpms.
But I boost them at only 7-8 psi on a safe tune. That's not even making 250 HP.

if you want to try your luck and push even more boost like 10+ psi, and with a nice aggressive tune, you can use a small t3/t4, such as t04B s trim or t04e 40 trim and a ported 0.48 a/r turbine, with watercooling. you could get over 300 HP with that. Is it safe to do this on a stock engine? I don't think so. But it has been done.
