42/48 on a b16?
Are any of you using a 42/48 on a b16? Im piecing together a kit right now but I don't have much money. Im most likely going to be buying a turbo from Spooled Motorsports. All I can find on there are 42/48's. Im only going to be running 7lbs. It'll be on a completely stock motor. Is it still to small of a turbo? If so, I don't see how b/c GST's are 2.0's using even smaller turbo's. Let me know....

it will work fine on a b16a stock but like what they say here once u go boost sooner or later u want more 
small turbo low end power
big turbo top end
get atleast a .57 or .50 cold side .63 hot side so ull get a better hp/tq number

After driving a B16 with a 42/48, I'm convinced you'll be happy with it for about 2.7 minutes before you start looking for a bigger turbo.
