Would a Garrett t61 be too big for my completely stock b18b1 running about 10-12 pounds of boost. I found a guy selling one kinda cheap but i don't want to have to deal with lag from this size turbo.

This is the same exact turbo.....

yes its going to be laggy on a stock b18b.

 

Super laggy and way to big. Especially only revving to 7k and only running 12psi of boost. That turbo isnt even waking up at that boost pressure and you'll have a really short powerband. Would defiantely reccomend getting something smaller.

 

Simply put, BAD IDEA for street use.

 

For a hair under $1000, there are MANY better turbos for your goals. PM TheShodan and check out the GT32 series. I have one on my stock GSR and love it. Numbers in sig as well as a link to my for sale thread with a dyno graph of the GT3255b + SLS shorty
