i wouldnt be running any of those on a n/t, you will be asking for your car to die

Sorry guys forgot to mention, I am doing the infamous turbo swap and have a fully built 6 bolt.

i wouldnt do the swap to an n/t... find a gsx with a blown motor and do the swap i am sure it would be waaaay less time consuming and price wise it would make sense, i am sure you could fine a GSX with a blown motor for next to nothing

You wouldn't, I would. My talon was the first real car I ever bought and i'm never gonna let her die. As far as the swap, it is already done. All I need is an opinion on the turbos that I have listed.

The A/R seems a bit low for a high hp turbo (my first impression).

Have you done your compressor map homework?

Thanks Kenamond, that is the type of answers I was looking for. And no, I totally noobed out and didn't do my compressor homework.
