Question turbo question

what size turbo would someone recommend for a 9.8:1 B18b1 (1.8 liter)? i want good mid-range power with top-end, and i'm going with 9.8:1 compression for a quicker spool on a bigger turbo.

If it were me id go with an S258/259. Been becoming a big fan of the bulleseyes lately. way better than garretts.

eh... its all preference really. Lots of good turbos on the market.... it all depends on how much power you are looking for realistically. I am running a Precision SC61 (.60/.63) and i get full boost right around 5K .... Great midrange Turbo IMHO. Now i know every setup is different but i had no problem putting down 550 whp on 25 psi. And as soon as i get my new WG spring i will be going back to reach my 600 whp goal.
