turbo ???

[B20badboy]

I am looking to get a turbo within the next few days I was told by tobi to get a .57 trim for my stock jdm b16 I was looking to get a different one maybe but down the line I want to change out the block with one set up for boost. Question what trimm turbo should I get now but might also work with a sleeved low comp built motor? These are the two I am looking at but am open to ideas.

That looks like the specs from a POS Master Power or XS Power turbo. I'd suggest you save up a bit more money and buy a good turbo, like one from Precision, Garrett, or Turbonetics. I've used a GT28RS very successfully and I've heard a Precision SC34 is a good street turbo for a B-series as well.

What is the problem with those turbo's? Are they not new do they not stand up to normal abuse?

Among many other things, they have a high incidence of premature failure. Search H-T for Master Power and XS Power. You get what you pay for.

Thanks you helped me make up my mind I guess the extra $$$ is worth it for a real turbo!

It really is, I've heard of he XS turbine housings splitting in half shortly after firing the engine up the first time it's installed, and from what I've read they just look like he most ghetto pieces of shit ever passed off as a turbo.
