Default Please help me make the proper turbo choice.

I have a 92 cx that I'm going to put a b16 into. I am trying to decide what turbo, a/r and trim I want. I'm looking at putting in the t3/t04e but just don't know what trim I want. I would also like a simplified explanation of the difference between a/r and trim. I am looking to put down a max of 350-400whp. I will be happy with over 300. I don't want to have to boost anymore than about 15psi.

Which turbo trim is going to spool up the fastest for my goals? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, I plan on going with forged rods and probably 9:0 pistons. Do my goals sound reasonable with proper tuning?

Thanks,

Eric

Go with something that is newer technology like the GT series of turbos. The aerodynamics of the fans and housings is more efficient, and the ball bearings have less friction and last longer. You'll thank yourself in the long run and probably in the beginning too.
