Ok, so im not asking the same ol same ol question on what turbo is best, the thing i need to know is what exactly im looking at, because im just looking for just a turbo, not a kit or anything, im needing to know is what brands i can look at, because in the Forced induction faq said you get what you pay for, well ive done some research and im just not a hundred percent on what im exactly looking at. and what all the specs of the turbo itself exactly means. So over all what im asking is what are good companies just to see what possibilities are, what im looking at when i look at a turbo, and what do the specs of a turbo are, it will help me decide what i want.

1.) the engine is a b18c1 W/ Skunk 2

2.) Im not sure what turbo because thats what this is all about, im trying to give as much information as possible to see what my options are.

3.)And also im not sure exactly what im going to be tuning with yet, its another thing im going to need to look into, any knowledge is highly appreciated on tuning options.

4.) probably also have 550cc fuel injectors

5.)Standard brand MAP sensor, any knowledge on good brands for a MAP sensor would be very helpful.

This is all of the knowledge i have obtained at the moment. Thanks for any help and knowledge.

 

first and foremost....what are your power goals? Thats one of the biggest deciding factors. Next, I'd say would you want something that spools quick or not till later in your rpm range. point being...say you want 300whp (EASILY doable with a stock block b18c1). you could have a larger turbo on say 8psi which wouldnt spool till later in the rpm range like 4k, OR you could have a smaller turbo at say 15psi that would spool at say 2.5k....also. 550cc injectors arent going to get you very far
