Default Suggestions Wanted: Turbo choices for low-end torque only; B20 Engine

Looking to add a little extra ummph to my CR-V. I'm looking at a turbo setup for 225-250 whp while maintaining AC and PS. A T3 Super 60 seems to be the right choice, but I can't decide between a .48 and .63 turbine. Thoughts? Keep in mind my power goals are relatively low and my car rarely if ever sees revs above 6000 rpm.

.48A/R is just fine for that lower end torque (or "ummph" as you'd like to describe it). If it were a VTEC hybrid swap, the .63A/R is more suited.

Thanks, and thanks for the title change as well! My only concern with the B20 and .48 a/r was not being able to stay out of boost while cruising around town. Real concern or just me over thinking things?

Overthinking. For where to want your powerband to be, you'll be fine with the .48A/R.

You're welcome
