How do you consider that tiny? ---> Yes, not as big as a T4 compressor wheel, but it is well suited for a b-series... Have you ever done an analysis with a
14b? Besides it is better for a street engine IMO...
I do have good fuel management, though so it does make a big difference...
7psi? LS you could push like 12psi at least, maybe 8 on a B18C.
I'm running B16 block, LS pistons, GSR head, ---> C/R=8.75 Uberdata and 450DSM injectors, ACT clutch, among other things...
I'm running conservatively at 10psi on my 14b, and IMO it's faster than a friends T3/T4 at 8psi...

I meant to emphasize the half assed fuel management. It will make it less reliable, won't be making its full potential in power, and the gas mileage will suck.

I totally agree with you...
Bad engine management = Bad engine performance
What size turbo r u running anyway, 18G?... 204ft-lbs =

I was pretty amazed by 204 ft/lbs since I street tuned it myself and didn't even mess with the ignition map. I am sure that if I tune the ignition maps more aggressively, I could squeeze more hp and torque out of it, but there is no reason to. Having more than 180 ft/lbs of torque after 3800k rpm makes it a very fun street setup.
