Icon2 Looking for turbo ideas

Wondering if anyone has some suggestions to look into for my build. I am undecided on what turbo i want to run and manifold i should use. I would like to be around the 400 - 450 whp on pump gas and do a separate chip for a race tune. That tune will be an all out one and just see what we are able to hit. I was looking into the Precision 6266CEA however i hear any mixed emotions on the precision stuff. So i started to look at the borg turbos. I found a local guy selling the s366 bullseye power with extended tip technology. Selling it for a decent price but then i started looking at the new BatMoWheel ones. They seem like a legit turbo!! Here is a quick little list of what i have done. Money isnt a huge issue just factors on how fast the car is complete.

Engine- B18C5 block
stock R crank
Bored 40 over
CP 84.5mm flat top pistons 10.2/1 cr
Manley turbo tuff I beams
ACL Bearings

Head- Stock R head port matched
Have Ferrea valves/guides/seals
Brian Crower titanium springs/retainers
Skunk2 Pro 1 cams

Victor X intake mani port matched
Skunk2 Pro 70mm Throttle Body

Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

For 400whp-450whp on pump gas, that is just too large than needed for that goal. The S366 is a great turbocharger, but I'd look to something a bit more reasonable and responsive than getting too large of a turbo because you found a "deal" on it... C'mon. Get the right parts for the right purpose.

Don’t mind getting a different turbo. Im just asking for input on suggestions. Money isn’t really a huge deal. What would you recommend looking at? The guy that currently has the s366 was full boost at 4300. I didn’t think that was too bad with a bigger turbo. Trust me though i have no complaints for criticism. I would just like to have some input.

Maybe on a large engine, but he's not reaching maximum pressure under 20 psi at that rpm on any Honda 2.0 liter or less, I'll tell you much.

Look into turbos in the 52lbs/min to 60lbs/min range. For Borg-Warner, see the S256 and S258 units. For Garrett, there's others to choose from depending upon budget

Thanks much. I will do a little research on some around there. Appreciate the input!
