Heh. Thanks for the opinions. I was checking out some GS-R turbos and it seems that they loose some serious power in mid rpm range. I'm just wondering, is this always gonna happen or can you adjust it to get the engine to run smoother?
Also, if I was to rip the motor out, what's the best engine to put in that will fit. I know the GS-R is the B18c, is it worth it to stick in a Type-R B18c5. I heard that the Type-R engine isn't quite as good at taking a turbo, something like 5 psi, while the GS-R can take 7+. So if not the Type-R engine what's the best one outside of the Integra line of engine that will actiually fit? Thanks.

IMO, it is wiser to build a bomb-proof LS motor that can handle 12-15 psi all day. Then, just live with a lower redline.
