I'm currently in the market to find a really cheap civic under $1000, anywayz i've been following up on turbochargers for the past 2 years so I know what i'm getting into. I plan on keep the stock D16 in the car when I get it, but I've already order a couple of accessories like BOV, oil lines, injectors, intercooler etc. But I wanna keep the car daily driven but still have more ummph than every other turboed D16 out there. On a stock engine with about 175,000miles which turbo would suit my needs I really want a quick spooling turbo that adds a decent amount of power. My horsepower goal is about 230hp. Choices I have T3 Super 60-1 Trim
T3/T4, T25 which one any advice would help!!

Well if your goal is only 230 whp, a 60-1 is way to big. Get a t28 or something small that spools quick.

Well what kinda of power should I expect from a 60-1, because more power is always better I was just being conservative, and I plan on upgrading in the future so a bigger turbo would suit me better in the long run!!

Id go with a Garrett T3 due to the fact that u are only shooting for 230 HP. The T3 will spool quick and still allow you to hit the 230 range. T3/T4 is too big for a stock d series motor and will spool way to late =ing massive lag.
