There is a lot of difference. You must size the turbo correctly for different applications. Your engine is capable of consuming so many lbs of air per minute. You must plot this out. They have compressor maps to show the efficiencys of different compressors and if your not in the correct efficiency your turbo will not perform well.
I suggest you do more research or get a kit that is designed for your engine and performance goals.

Im new to tha geo, at my school we have a beat the teacher race and i got a 91 Geo Prizm for free. i wanted to know what i can swap into it? I want a direct bolt on swap and im gonnna boost it. I dont really mind if tha engine blows i just wanna beat the teacher with a GEO PRIZM. I need some info.

Turbo is available with all engines. But it depends on the capacity and size of the turbine engine exhaust, if you select the size, it does not mash with the acceleration may be slower than originally estimated.
