Default NEXT YEARS SET-UP/ WHAT SIZE TURBO?

Im looking to achieve around or at 400hp with my set-up.
built/sleeved h22..etc,etc
what size turbo should I get to achieve this with the lowest boost possible? (10-14psi)
Ball bearing is an option to get it spool fast and keep the low end as usable as possible.

subscribed.. but,

Why do you want the lowest boost possible for x amount of hp with a built block? You should be asking for the 'best powerband possible' for x amount of hp.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I just think of an oversized turbo with a poor powerband when high hp and low boost go together.. someone correct me if I'm wrong!

I only said that I wanted the lowest boost at that HP because Ive seen others do it and achieve great low end TQ numbers.

i dont get the reasoning for the big turbo low boost desire, but personally i would rather sacrifice a little torque up top and have a better powerband all around....GT35/40R

Well the reasoning behind that was to achieve my goal and have plenty of room left to up the boost later. Just thinking ahead!

I would definently get something that gives you a little room to grow with, because you'll get bored of the 400..lol. Especially when you have a built block to take advantage of

I know theres gotta be some turbo h22 set-ups out there thats met the set up I'm looking for. Any others out there? So far the TE 61, gt35r & gt40. The gt42 sounds like its way too much.
