B20 turbos don't hold up for shit. I mean MP5's has only been going for almost 4 years at 12-14psi, running consistent times over those 4 years.

T3T4 any trim.

Get a good tuner.

I wouldn't shoot for over 300whp. It's not the PSI, different turbos at the same psi is deadly. A T3 vs a Gt42r on 15 psi is totally different.

Shad at Accuracy.

very true, dont do anything rash and buy the biggest turbo u can get. remember, you can have the best gear but without tuning, that thing aint gonna last.
