What engine do you have?

B16A DOHC vtec. Dont really wanna swap.

No boost or bottle. Just balls and a throttle. All motor. Kiddin. Imho i would upgrade rods and such better safe than sorry. Those b16s can take a beating as is so why not just make it tougher to break on a mild setup.

The Edelbrock performer X kit comes with the Garrett GT28RS (aka Disco Potato) which is the absolute best turbo you can buy for a project under <350hp. vs CX anything is a joke.

Unless you want to keep replacing the turbo every month I would stay away from them

Take what you would have spent on the horseshlt CX kit and offer that much to your friend for the Edelbrock kit.

Peice together your own kit, that's what I did that way you get everything you want

I found a math fornula for cfm of engine required at 6000 rpm
And the formula to transfer that to lbs/min for boost.
From what im understanding theres 14 lbs comstant air pressure on any givin engine at sea level,
So u would at 14 and say 8 lbs of boost like what i want to run. Wich comes to 22lbs/min.
I know its only adding 8lbs of boost. But is that right the constant 14lbs of air.
If so then im figuring that i have 85% cfm pressure instead of a hundred, just to be safe.
So i am thinking a t3/t4 hybird garrett turbo. Am i on track or way the f@#$ off.?
