Default b18b bearing clearances for DD turbo?

What would be a good bearing clearance for main caps and rods for a DD b18b1 turbo?
I heard that .002 is good for racing but not dd and something closer to .0017 is on the money for all-motor DD.... but what about turbo? Is it the same?

The internals are being kept stock btw.

bump because i want to know as well...i'm replacing the bearings in the bottom end of my GSR because i spun a bearing. Anyone have specs on this??

EDIT:

I found the Evans build article again. It gives his suggestions for bearing sizing in the article below.

In that article he goes with .002 which I heard was way too loose for a daily driver. Can anyone else verify this for turbo applications?
