Chinese 2871 sounds a bit overkill for 8psi. BB T28 sounds like it would be better for this PSI range. What are your plans for the car? Street/autox I'd do T28. Track toy? 2871.
but WTF do I know, I'm a supercharger guy.

I think the above Isis qualifies as a churbo. Look up CXRacing on eBay, I think they sell them too. Do the research though, the flanges are NOT direct bolt-it for Garrett on some of the units

im using a td04-9b which is a very small turbo. it spools very late at 4000rpm so not the greatest for the street. used garrett turbos are pretty cheap with early model sr20 t28 going for the $200 mark. the td04 is also very restrictive at 5500rpm the engine sounds horrible.
Such a small turbo should spool at 2000 rpm in 3rd. There must be something amiss with your wastegate or blow/recirc valve?
IMO the td04-13t is a much better option than the 9b. Even at 7psi I have trouble with traction.

unfortunately the td04-9b came in the kit and the flanges are different so i cant upgrade to the 13 or 15 varients. its easier just going to the garrett turbos which is what i am doing with this begi-s kit im about to buy.
maybe there is something wrong with my current setup, it wont boost past 5-6psi no matter how i set the boost controller. I have no bov too. it builds up boost at 4000rpm no matter what gear im in.
