Default Suggested turbo?

I just bought a 2000 Acura Integra GSR with the 1.8. I am thinking about putting a turbo on it but i have no idea what turbo i should get for it. I was hoping for suggestions on who's turbo and which turbo. My car is stock minus the skunk 2 coil-overs and sway bars in front and rear.

**Moved to Forced Induction**

Step 1: Read the Forced Induction FAQ
Steps 2-28: See above

Stock B series is good for ~3-350whp in stock form.
PSI means nothing...set a POWER goal, not a boost goal as it differs from turbo to turbo/setup to setup

I wouldn't go any bigger than a t3/t4

you need to factor in the cost of getting it tuned, and the cost of a programmable ecu


you also need to be able to stop faster before you need to be able to go faster

50 trim would do well with a .63 housing. Will spool nicely and mae the power a stock GSR can handle and be a fun car to drive. PLus 50 trims are on the cheaper end. Buy a garrett unit.

Truth. While I have a .57 trim from Garrett, it is a nice turbo. They can be had cheap. Like say, someone blew up their new build and part out their turbo kit. Got mine for under $400 and it was pretty much new. Still had all the marking from Greg on it.
