what kind of car are u putting it in? and those motors both handle boost pretty well stock.
we need to know this because the b18a1's come with cable transmissions i believe. if its a newer car get the B18B1 swap

*edit typo lol. thanks jimster

well they are basically both the same motor. the B1 makes a bit more power, and as far as the trannies go I think its the other way around. B1's have Hydro and A1's have Cable.
