Default ihi-rhb5 vs. t3

heres my dilemma. i have a 91 crxsi and im building a turbo kit. i recently got the ihi turbo off an 89' mx-6 and its in very good condition for $45. now i jsut found out my local junkyard has a t3 for $75. my plan is to run 8-10 lbs max on my dohc zc. for the tuning aspect, my friedn will probally chip my pm6 and that will take care of that. so heres my question, whats gonna be the better turbo chocie for an -10 lb setup. the smaller ihi, or the bigger t3. half my friends are saying t3 and teh otehr half or saying the ihi. so im coming to u guys to get some opinions. my goal for the rex is to hit low 14s- high 13s. so with ur experiance what turbo do ut hink will get me there for the easier and cheaper price?

I would go with the T3 if it's in good shape. I have no idea why you picked a pressure level to base this off though. The power curve of the T3 will complement the motor much better than a smaller turbo and may pull to redline if it's not a small t3.
