Instead of picking a PSI amount you want to run, Decide how much HP you would like to make. From that answer, you can narrow it down to a few turbos.

I just wanna get between a 10 and 11 second quarter. I am afraid to much horsepower would be over kill.

B20 block is fine, it's even sleeved and built up, no need to worry about that. As EJ8 said you need to pick a power goal.

I know many different people with many different types of turbo's that run 10 and 11's. Give us a power goal.

Pick a HP amount, please. No E.Ts. No PSI numbers. Get specific. Or else you'll get the simple responses like you have above. Get to work.

60-1 is great for high boost if you have a built motor, or try pushing a t4 lol

I dont know how to really help you, but i will give you this...you dont need 550-600whp to run in the 10-11 sec range. SLS built a simple piston/rod B16 with a 57 trim on 110oct and ran in the 10.3xx's consistantly. I suggest doing more research before moving forward on anything...

x2, I think you are getting ahead of yourself, you really need to have a plan before embarking on something like this.
