So many ppl dont understand they need to get the right turbo for their car....you can have a t3/t4 that spools quick with a stg1/2 wheel or you could have a stg3 that spools at about 4.5-5k ((if its the ebay t04E that i'm thinkin)
I 1000% agree with him on this....and I know he knows what he is talking about. I have a big t3/t4 on my build lsvtec and it didn't spool until 4k. If you want drivability go with a t25,t28 or any variant like 14b or small 16g. this will cause you to change th manifold or get some kind of adapter but these turbos are good for the b16 and the lack of torque that they have. You will be looking at about 500 to 1k earlier spoolin depending on the turbo. Is you b16 stock? if so it would definitly help to have a smaller turbo for your lag prblem. this would be the simple fix......you can always up the displacement, or n20 the lower rpms to get to boost, or P and P the head with full cams and valvetrain but your talking major dolares for that. Look for a 14b....I think that would be your best bet. G/L and hope that this helps......................oh and of course don't forget tuning(most pple don't realize how much that makes a difference)
