I want to know roughly how would this turbo (3rd one down from top) (Garrett Spec T3/T04E 57 Trim Hybrid Turbos) http://www.turbocalculator.com/sale-garrett.php behave on a stock B18C1...

I'm looking for a fair priced turbo that spools up decently ~3500-4000 full boost, and holds all the way to stock 8k redline. Looking for ~250hp.

I have seen many 57trim .60 / .63 A/R turbos, but the one they are offering has a .50 compressor housing and a choice of .48 or .63 A/R turbine housing. The price is not too bad, but I just want to know how this turbo would behave considering its smaller compressor housing???

 

my buddy dynoed his b18c1 with .63 .60 .57 trim 256whp @ 6 psi..

 

Those are pretty good numbers, but I'm wondering how'd the 0.50 A/R compressor housing affect the power band compared to the 0.60 A/R compressor.

 

the numbers in my sig where made with a turbonetics t3/to4e .63 stage3, .54 trim so this will give you an idea of what it will do for you.
