Default Turbo size suggestion for new setup

My previous setup was the revhard 2c kit with the garrett t3/t4 turbo. I made 215whp at 10psi. With my new setup i want to make around 250whp, should i go with the same turbo or would a t3 like a super 60 be a better setup. I know i have seen some guys post up smaller turbos with about the same hp i'm looking for that why i was wondering if i should just get a t3.

dont do anything. just turn the boost up to about 15-17psi and drive the hell out of it.

If your looking for more torque down below and quicker spoolup, get the T3 but you'll have to run more boost versus the T3/T4 to obtain your goal level.

boost is going to stay just below 1 bar. I read in honda tuning book that they made more hp with a t3 on a b16 than with a t3/t4 with the same boost level and setup.
