exactamundo...i'm not one of these ricers that just buys parts because someone says it will work. I'm knew mtber was probably right but that wasn't the point. I wanted to know why. Getting 350+ reliably out of a daily driven b16 will not be cheap so I need to know why I'm putting every single part on this motor. I appreciate everyone's input, except mtber

Anyways I think I got the jist of everything and i'll be purchasing the 38mm shortly. Next I gotta pick a replacement turbo. Wait for my next topic..."wtf do CFM and compressor maps mean?" lol
