I know how the turbo worx n all, i know what i need to set up my own system, what i dont know is how to choose size of turbo. I have a H23 motor and i was thinkin of a T3/T4 hybrid but i dont want my car to take forever to spool. Im only goign to run about 7lbs of boost, and id like it to spool up pretty quik (wouldnt everyone) can anyone help me with maybe the actual mathematical best choice? or even just a suggestion

7psi and quick spooling. you could go with a 14 outta a 1g dsm. right now i have a t28 sitting in my garage waiting to be installed on my car. either of the 2 spool up fairly quick and run a decent 7psi. my t28 is pre set to run 7psi and the 14b is preset at 9psi. either or IMO would be a good choice to begin with.

the quickest spool you are probably going to get is 3000 RPM, just like any other turbo. I would get a 60-1 T3/T4 if you are looking for that.

that turbo would be PERFECT for the setup you plan on doing.

If your going to spend good money on a new turbo or kit, let the retailer make a recommendation. Results is part of what your paying for. They size turbos to application every day. If your going the junkyard route, pick one with similar displacement and valve train.
