Default 2000 b16 turbo?

i have a turbo kit with a 45/48 trim ( i think, its small) t3 but has a 10psi spring in a tial wastegate. im pretty sure it would be too much for the stock internals to handle correct? should i change it out to 5psi spring?

psi doesnt mean anything, stock bottom end can handle 300whp safely.

That turbo will die out just when your B16 starts to make power. I would seriously consider going with a bigger turbo.

45/48 trim? Wth man?? haha.. jp, it's a good idea to play it safe in the beginning.

like bbka said, the turbo will most likely die before the motor (assuming you have a good tune!) so get a 50+ trim.
