Default what type of size housings should i be lookin for in a turbo

im kinda confused on what size housings i should be lookin for like if the compressor housing should be smaller then the turbine housing or the other way around or what not because i know that the smaller the housing will produce better spool up and create better low end power but i dont kno what to look for and also what about trim sizes i should look at if anyone could help me out that will be great

compressor covers and turbine housings come in different A/Rs so that you can tune between each wheel size. So for each compressor wheel you might have 2 or 3 different sized covers before you jump up to the next biggest wheel with the smallest housing. So it's really a pointless question unless you already know the sizes you want. If anyone says 'oh, well if you have a b18b than you need to get a .60 A/R compressor' just smile and nod.
hope that helps.

I might have kinda read this the wrong way.. I was assuming he was asking for what size turbo he should use meaning a t28,t3,t4,ect..

I actually would like to learn more about the different trims on turbos.. Is there anywhere on the net that this is documented in more detail..
