I had a turbonetics t60-1 turbo on my b20 cost 1400 just for turbo but by far the best for over 400hp.

anything less is just a waste...

Jeez, where to begin?!?

Intelligent turbo selection is something that SO many people neglect to research. Learn how to read a compressor map and you'll be able to make a much better decision. (most Supra owners suffer from freudian turbo selection issues but that's another thread... )

Look here: http://64.225.76.178/catalog/compmaps/ts04.html

That's not a bad looking map for a B20. I'd get some low compression dished slugs so you can run some real boost (anything less than 15 psi is a goddamn waste, who cares how big the turbo is USE IT!)

Other thing to consider is going to a place like http://www.cheapturbo.com and ordering one there. About a stage 3 T3 turbine side with an appropriate compressor wheel and you're in business.

Browse the other compressor maps, think of the bottom line (lbs/min airflow as hp/10, it's a rough calculation but I guarantee you, it's what the guy at the turbo shop is doing) and the pressure ratio in Bar. 1 bar = 14.7 psi.
