Default t3 thunderbird

well i finally got my turbo setup running properly. i was just wondering if any of you guys with a b18b are using the thunderbird turbo and what kind of numbers to expect from it. it pulls hard but this is my first turbo'ed car and i have nothing to judge it off of.

Thats a really great turbo for a street driven car.
Sorry, no numbers.

B16A, I don't hit full till around 4000 but I ride it out to 8200, I think it's a great turbo, it pulls very hard.

Ah a lot of you have the smaller turbine side, I think that would probably work better on the lower HP LS. I have the .60 / .63 but I would like to upgrade my internals and run a bigger precesion.
