Default B20 motor, which tranny do i need?

Ok, I'm thinking now that I'm going to get me a B20 motor for my 95 civic, what trans do i need to get to go with it? I eventually plan to get a turbo, a drag3(?) setup. Remember, Im new to this world, So if somthing doesnt sound right(numbers and what) please dont flame me! Hopefully I'll get a pic of it up this week so ya'll can laugh at this dream in progress! Thanks for any input!

If your going B20/Turbo, I'd use the GSR tranny (Better gearing), but if you got the scratch for an ITR trans go for that..........

since you plan to turbo you would be better to just go with a LS tranny (economincally, that is)... you'll wish you had it once you get into some serious power with a turbo.

Yes with higher boost levels, you'll want to run a tranny with longer gears like the LS tranny. But if you are going to be keeping boost levels to about 10-12 psi or lower then i would go with the GSR trans........
