OK OK OK.... I know that there are alot of threads where people ask, "I want to get turbo, which one is the best one for my car!" They are quite frankly pretty annoying, considering they should probably do the research themselves. But my point here is to get feedback from people that have already had the experience and maybe want to share. I'm not asking which one is best for my Integra GSR, because they all have their ups and downs. What I want to ask is:

I will be only boosting 6-8lbs. I want something that has mid to high end power (so it rules out a DSM t25). Spool around 4000-4500k with power all the way close to redline. Not too much creep will be fine.... What do you guys think?

I was thinking about a t3/t4, but I've heard horror stories about the creep on it. I was going to go with maybe a DSM td05-16g or 18g, but getting a manifold for that would rule out any future upgrades for different flanges. There are adaptor plates, but how much do they usually fun for?

Boost Creeps doesnt reason anything with the Turbo!

If you got the money. Invest in a kit, since your not so familiarized with Turbo itself.

Revhard, Drag3, Max Rev, Greddy...Kits are all good for your goals..

-----------------Got more Money? Go with FULL RACE <--But like you said, you want/got a small goal...

garret t3/t04e get 50 trim and youll be right where you want to be.

Just my opinion but I said the exact same thing you said about only wanting 6-7 psi and a average turbo I had the greddy kit and dont get me wrong I loved it (for the time being) but now my car is under construction once again for a upgrade and going with a three bar this time so I can run at least 14 psi. Anyway moral of the story is boost is addicting and its too easy to change something to get more your never satisfied.

It is a good idea to get the full kit, but I have a shop that will do things for really cheap. It is a good idea, but the only part I'm sketchy about is the turbo itself. It's gonna be alot cheaper for me to have the shop fabricate everything for me. Thanks for the advice!

Monicle:

You sure the t3/t4 won't creep all too bad? So you really recommend it huh? It conforms to everything that I wanted? Thanks for the advice!

Juggernaut:

What turbo were you using the first time?

THANKS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS GUYS.... I'M STILL TRYING TO DECIDE.... ANYMORE ADVICE/SUGGESTIONS OUT THERE?

I would go a little bigger, maybe with a garrett t3/60-1 with either a .48 ar or .63 ar. Spool time should be pretty good and will hit really hard around 5-6k range. You will have a tough time making your desired power with a t3/t4, but it is possible.

monicle

the turbo has nothing to do with boost creep. A poor wastegate is attributed to that.

That's gonna be a whole lot of power! I think I'd be happy with around 250 to the wheels. The td05-18g seems to be pretty moderate....
