Default Turbo help

Looking to do my first turbo build. I basicly need help finding the right turbocharger. I have a b18 ls with stock internals. Looking for 200 whp at 6-8 psi. I want low psi bc of the stock internals. Thnks

Not another one of these!!! It is called research and psi don't mean crap!! FYI it is pointless to try and only get 200 hp when a stock b series is capable of 300-330ish safely

Well one turbo can make x hp with 6-8 while another cold make the same with 12-14 psi.... from what i researched its due to the diffrent trims.. i want 6-8 psi bc iv been researching and most ppl say 6-8 psi is safe for stock internals .Iwant 200 bc this is my first build. Not looking for big numbers or to proove anything. So back to my question. Im not sure which turbo will fit my needs. I dont want a shitty ebay turbo.

Most people are idiots these days!!! What you need to know is the flow rate of a turbo.

"Well one turbo can make x hp with 6-8 while another cold make the same with 12-14 psi...." And this is exactly why PSI is irrelevant! Read up on flow rate.

Honestly if you only want 200 hp build a LS-vtec and call it a day. IMO it is pointless to go FI just for a extra 40-60 hp but hey its your money!
