Default Turbo b18c1 ( daily driver ) need advice

I got a b18c1 with just standard stuff done. I wanted to go N/A and do out the engine but its too pricey and to turbo would be so much mor effective in the long run.

I dont want to rebuild the motor just yet, i wanna just slap 6-10 psi and maybe less for silly work drives. However i have a sleeper look to my car and iwanna keep it that way, this is where i need more help.

I wanna hide alot of the turbo stuff, like recyclin the blow off vavle through the intake ( I dont know if i should why im putting it out there ) Also i just wanna know what turbo setup to go with. I want to have a small turbo that spools quick but i gotta get a setup so i wont be jumping around with boost all the time.

Also i need a to pick up a LSD so any suggestions on that would be appreciated.

What's your budget and power goal?

It might help so that we'll know if we can suggest a HMT (homemadeturbo) setup, a kit or a custom setup. I think a T3 might be a little too small for a GSR motor. And a T3/T4 is above the size you wanted. For turbo choices, it seems like the GT28RS is a good balance between fast spool and decent power. The only problem is it's expensive and I think a lot of places have it on backorder.

Check out this thread, and if you are lucky you can find a vid that you can DL towards the last few pages. It is a GT28RS on a GSR with ITB's...remember to check the last pages first if you want to DL a vid.

I'm aiming for your goal too and I've found the GT28RS is a nice choice. Be sure to weld the internal wastegate shut once you have a external wastegate.

Heres some sites for the GT28RS

Good Luck
