full boost by 5200 isn't that fast. Look into a t3/to4e 57 trim, .60/.63 I think your GSR motor will like that turbo... and so will you.

could i get full boost sooner and still use a turbo within my budget? .. I know the ITR cams will allow more air than GSR cams.

gt28r is going to be a real good choice, ball bearing, it will spool very quickly

i tihnk i am going to go with the gt28r

the setup i have is a

full race prostreet manifold
full race prostreet 3'' downpipe
full race intercooler 20x11x3
full race civic charge pipes
full race couplers
t bolt clamps

add that gt28r and i think i will have a pretty sick setup, however i might go with the gt 35r too but not sure yet, i want low fast spool times gt28r will definitly give that

if your going to use a gt series turbo dont go smaller than a gt30r. you will get great reponse from this turbo. a buddy of mine has it on his car.

sry, but a a maxed out gt28r wont make 400whp efficiently. go with a 30r OR 35r if you have the cash.

on that t3/t4 i mentioned earlier, it would have 15-18psi at 4500

I have to agree...I'm using an SC34 which is basically a 57 trim and I have full boost (10 psi) by 4500. You might also want to look into a 50 trim. This is if you don't want to spend the coin for a GT series.
