which turbo?
 

i have a chance to get a t3/t4 for $300, but would it be more beneficial to get a t25 for my 95 lude? which has stock internals.

depends on what t3t4 trim and a/r it is. For a 2.0 L displacement, I recommend a 57 trim.

by far one of the most influential things i've ever read concerning turbos is

THIS

that page is unbelievable and gives many suggestions to turbo'ing a honda/acura. Also read through it and it describes what the numbers (trim and a/r) mean and how they relate to the power/airflow etc.

Actually, that link should probably be in a post, by itself stickied for people who are getting into (or anyone actually) turbos. It's that good (i think).

actually is a H23a1 2.3L. its a Ts/T4 ball bearing.

What are the specs (sizing) of the turbo that you have in mind? remember that not all T3T4 are the same....
