I have ordered every part of my turbo kit except the turbo and downpipe. Now I want to be sure I get the right turbo for what I am looking for(stock b16a3). The manifold I got is a T3/T4 so I narrowed my pick of turbos down.
It's a toss up between;
-Garrett T3 super 60 w/ .48ar
-Garrett T3 super 60 w/ .63ar
-Garrett T3/T4E 57 trim w/ .48ar T3
-Garrett T3/T4E 57 trim w/ .63ar
-Garrett T3/T4E 60 trim w/ .48ar T3
-Garrett T3/T4E 60 trim w/ .63ar

I would rather have more torque than top end power but I don't want the turbo to run out of steam in the upper rpms. I have a vtec controller, I heard that helps when there is lag. And I want to make sure it will fit my manifold (t3/t4).
If I have the dp flange could I just make my own dp out of exhaust pipe or is the mandrel bent ss a big diffenerce in hp? Does anyone know where I could order a DP for a honda at a good price?? Should I have the catalic cut off and run stright pipe???
I have been askin a lot of questions about turbos setups because the last time I boosted a honda it was a kit, i didnt pick out the parts and I really appreciate all the help you guys have been giving me.
Thank you

I personally would consider any of those. Probably the middle one but others will have varying opinions. I wouldn't expect a ton of torque from your b16 ... or any honda for that matter.

I would definately go for 3" mandrel bent exhaust all the way out. No cat and a straight through muffler if any. Doesn't have to be stainless if you're on a budget.

Maybe TheShodan will spread some more detailed info on how the turbos would perform.

 

You can't really order a dp these days b/c to many variations play a role..4,5 or v band, 2.5 or 3'', a/c or non a/c, etc etc.

So your best bet would be to get a custom dp done.

 

if your looking for low end torque you will want any of the turbos with a .48 ar..

high end power will be better with the higher a/rs..

also a 60 trim will flow better
