Deff t3 t4 ball bearing is great as far as the spool at 4 to 5k that is a little late imo but its your ride. I have also been wanting turbo my d15 motor but not sure if its the way to go? Not trying jack your thread j/w what do you like more turbo or motor swaps? Thanks again not tryinn jack your thread

ive got a 50 trim turbo on my sohc non vtec and it spools round 4, and its set at 10lbs, and its really fun to drive, but i had an ls swap in a hatchback, and the turbo set up is a lot better.

those turbo mentioned are great to use. But if you want instant power at 2-3000rpm. Look into a t25 or t28 from a dsm/eclipse. They have lots of midrange, but top end is limited. I guarantee you once you go turbo, there no going back. should be a nice lil project. Good luck and post your progress. Oh one more thing a BB turbo is not always money friendly. but if you have the funds go for it.
