Default Turbo type and wastegate on b16

Im looking at getting a new turbo and wastegate for my b16a3 with an ssautochrome manifold. Im running on stock internals and am going to be running around 8psi for now. i was previously running a turbonetics t3/t4 hybrid with a tial style wastegate. Im wondering if i should purchase the same setup or if there is a better turbo or wastegate for this setup.

Thanks in advance

Go with a gt-series ball bearing turbo and a tial wastegate if you want to be a baller...

Which size is the best....t3? or t3/t4?. And which would be an ideal size for the wastegate?

First you need to decide what HP you want to get to. For streetable fun, usually about 260-300 should do the trick, unless you plan to build the motor, for more power, etc.

Also, this isn't just plug n' play.... what kind of response do you want for the turbo, and what is the purpose OF the turbo? Drag racing, street battling for response, road racing? This all make a difference in what it is you want to accomplish
