alright, im about to start piecing together a turbo kit for my 00 si. it is my dd and has about 130xxx miles. im looking to make around 300whp. im going to get pistons and rods, cams, im, headstuds, and upgrade my fuel system, etc... no sleeving and boring for NOW. i have decided to go with a garrett t3-t04e turbo. but, not sure about the whole compressor size and all that. i was thinking maybe the 57 trim and a .63 a/r? im a newb at all this and have researched some but just wanted some input. keep in mind, i do plan on eventually upping the hp, being as the financial plans work out......now, second question, which turbo manifold should i go for? i want to keep my ac and ps. i was looking into peakboost ($900). any other suggestions? one more thing, i plan on going ahead and ordering my bov with all of this too, so has anyone had any experience with the synapse one? its between synapse and the hks ssqv.

 

come on guys, help me out....would a 57 trim, .63 a/r be good for me? and what about manifolds. . . .?

 

if all you're looking for is 300whp, get something like a GT2871R or hell, even a GT28RS, because with cams on that b16 300whp on a GT28RS should be simple.

I'd say the 57 trim t3/t4 if you're going for 400whp or something.
