yea, a turbo that small would choke out on the top end.... you could swap out the .48 for a .63 exhaust housing and that would allow you to hold boost all the way through the rev range

it's a 42/48, you're 8 probably got rubbed off to look like a 3, anyway, if you run it none intercooled, it will be good to 8psi, w/ intercooler, it will hit 8-9psi and fall off to ~6... works good on a sohc, i wouldn't use it on a b16 though... if you just have to go junkyard, grab a 60/63 off a late 80's thunderbird
