Default What turbo would be good for my application?

I have a 95 GSR currently running around 8.5:1 compression on forged internals (Wiseco pistons and such) and a stock head. I'm only looking to rev to the stock 8k, maybe 8500rpm. I would like it spooled fully by 4000-4500rpm, perferably when Vtec engauges. I'm only looking for 300-350whp max out of this setup.

I was actually looking into a GT28RS first but those spool so low, I don't know if it would run out of steam by the time I reached redline.

Thanks!

May i ask why did you go to 8.5:1 compression and only shooting for 300-350?

You should have just thrown stock compression aftermarket pistons and better rods if you were shooting that low.

I agree.. I personally think that anything lower than 9:1 is too low for anything..

Because I'll be running 87 octain when going cross country, low compression, while out of boost helps alot

I know I could have tuned it out, but I don't really know, I felt like it would just be better this way. Don't question the guy with ADD, you won't get an answer that makes sense
