What are you going to be using it for? Street, track or drag?



If its for the street oyu might find it laggy.



If your using it for track, I am interested to see how you get on.



If its for the drag, you should have fun.



From what I have ready about this turbo, and having one in both my hands it really should be fitted to a 20B engine.

I use the car for the street or for going to the roadcourses. The A/R's match up pretty good to my 13b- we'll see.
