i would like a opinion from someone who knows what they are talking about
please only give your opinion if you truley understand everything,im a novice at turboing a honda,so ive tried to take every precaution,btm,bigger injectors(370cc),vafc,retarded igniton,retarded cam gears,im starting off with everything set very mild so i can begin to tune,well i had a leak around the exhaust header where it met the head,so everything is tore apart,right now it is a small t3(.42 intake and .48 exhaust) on a b16a3,good size intercooler and 2.5 inch intercooler piping,i have already bought a t4 with plans to combine the t3 and t4,the exhaust side of the t3 is .48,the intake of the t4 is a .70,the question is,should i put the t3 back on the car or send out the parts and get my t3/t4 built,how would it react,would it be too much on a stock bottom end even though i have plenty of tuning i can do.how could i map the performance so i could learn the best turbo for my needs,its daily driven and is far from being a gutted race rocket.id rather only have to put it back together one time,so do i do the upgrade now,will the t3 be big enough,im looking for effecient turboing,not something that is going to blow up or have to replace my turbo becuase it is overworked.

no one understands everything 
If you're using the VAFC hack, the word on the street is that you should use 450cc injectors to run 10psi, because the way the hack is set-up, the smaller the injector you run, the less boost you can run, since it has to reduce the MAP signal by a corresponding amount...

I am confused.....
dude, get the T3/4e build...and I didn't know they made a 70 trim on a T04E, I guess I don;t know that much then..
with a good tuning on VAFC, a set of higher injectors like 370 or 450 cc with 8:1 or 10:1 FMU disc you can run 10 psi and still have a reliable bottom end...without putting too much fuel pressure on your pump...
turbo don't kill your engine, driver does..
