Yes, .42 compressor, .48 turbine:

The 88-90 900 and 87-89 9000 turbos have this watercooled T3. Exception: 1990 SPG 900 models don't have this turbo and early 88 900s may be oil-cooled only due to mid-year changes.

you ran 20 psi on that turbo? It didn't lose effeciency?

Also, N20civicB18, what kind of numbers and psi were you putting down to run that time of 13.2?

I think $150 is fine for that turbo, make sure it's in working condition. I got mine for a good deal, $100 off a fresh rebuilt from some old guy on ebay.

I was running around 10psi depending what it spiked too. I never dynoed it, never even checked it on a wideband. I think I was at 11psi when I ran 13.2 and 9 psi or so I was running about 13.6 This was on 205/50-14 BFG DR's on stock LS tranny. I was doing shitty 2.2-2.3's 60' running those times
