i was wondering what my car would be comparable to with a gsr block,b16 tranny,skunk2 im. Would it be about the same as a g3 gsr or what? i'm tryin to decide if i'd be better off doin a swap or a junkyard turbo kit for relatively low cost

Put it this way... my car DA has a TD-04 on it with a stock B18A and S1 tranny. My co-worker's DA has a B18C motor w/ITR pistons and a stock snail manifold (butterfly stack removed) running a stock JDM P30, on a S1 tranny. My car feels like it has more torque down low with the boost feeling good from 3000-4800 rpms but (absolutely) nothing after 5000 rpms.... in fact, I'm losing power on that small of turbo, boosting 6-7 lbs. On the B18C, past 5000, it pulls very strong and feels really good and is much faster than my boosted B18A.

I knew my car wasn't going to be a speed demon with the small turbo on the B18A motor, but it sounds real cool and is good enough for me as a daily driver.
