turbo advise
ok so before anyone says anything i have been searching for like a week at turbos but need some HT advise, only thing i could find is really old threads and figured some new turbos are about. ok so i currently have a greddy 18g turbo on built and sleeved with ctr head and cams b16a2 putting down little under 350. 9.1 pistons. i just ordered id1000 injectors and am looking to step up my turbo. its track only,road racing, and looking for around 450-500hp. ive got a friend selling a nice big borg warner but dont know the specs on it. also looking at garret gtx3582r. im looking for something i can beat the hell out of and keep on kicking. any advise is welcome, thanks

I know TheShodan was designing a turbo for the B16a so it may well be worth contacting him about it. https://honda-tech.com/forums/members/theshodan-999301704/

Re: turbo advise
thanks guys ill take all that into consideration, and not trying to sell currently. the Garrett turbo will not mount up without mod to my current set up? and does anyone know where to find turbo piping? currently have 2" hotside and 2 1/2" coldside ,3" exhaust
do you think that 93 pump gas is safe, or i need to step up?

DO IT ON ALL FOURS
Re: turbo advise
I have nothing but great things to say about Greg Carter and Go-AUTOWORKS!
If that is what "The Shodan" recommended, then give it a shot. You can always just buy a different turbo if you are unhappy with it.
