Que pasa?

I am currently in the process of saving up some money to buy a turbo kit for my 1997 Type-SH. I have taken a look at all of the different turbo kits available, and none of them seem to have exactly what I am looking for. For example, all of the kits that I have looked at come with a cast-iron manifold, 2.5-inch downpipe, and ( in some cases ) a crappy form of fuel management. There is no point in me spending thousands of dollars on a turbo kit when it doesn't have what I want in it. What I want is a stainless-steel turbo manifold, a ball bearing turbo, and a 3 inch or larger downpipe.

With that said, I am going to piece together my own turbo kit for my car. However, here is my first problem: I don't know what size tubocharger to go with.

I'd like to go with a turbocharger that spools well, so that way I can start making power earlier in the power band. With this said, I think a ball bearing turbo would be the way to go.

I do not plan to run a lot of boost on the engine. As a matter of fact, I only plan on running about 7 psi on the stock USDM H22A4 block, which, when tuned properly, should be good at about 250 horsepwer.

While shopping around, I have seen several turbos that are efficient up to 400 horsepower, 300 horsepower, 500 horsepower, 1,800 horsepower, etc. I know that I shouldn't go with an extremely large turbo, because it would take forever to spool. But then again, I don't want to go too small and overheat the turbo and decrease its life span. Seeing as the turbo will be ball bearing, I can get away with going a little too big right?

 

Don't be shy, I know there are some boosted BB6s on this board
