Turbo Sizing for B18

Hi,
Im tryign to size a turbo for my integra. I have decided to go with a Garrett T3/T04E. I have read alot about sizing turbos and waht to look for and how to use the performance chart but Im still having a bit of trouble deciding between using these few models:

50 trim .48 AR
57 trim .48 AR
50 trim .63 AR
57 trim .63 AR
60 trim .63 AR

I originally wanted something small like the 50 trim .48 AR, but the amount of selection I have with the Garrett's is throwing me off and im not sure which would be best now. Im looking for fast spool with a decent top end. but im not really going to be running WOT alot so I figured something small would be good for street use..and have a little room for upscale later.

Thanks for the help.

you want something that spools fast AND has good top end?

Pick one or the other, b/c you can't have both.

If you want fast spool, use the 50 trim .48 a/r. You should only be revving that thing to 7000rpms anyways, so its not like the turbo needs to be efficient up to 8500rpms.

If you want a little more top end than the .48 a/r will provide use the .63 a/r.

Right now i found a good price on a 46 trim or a 57 trim, both with .48A/R. Does anyone think that the 46 trim will be too small and i should go with the 57 trim?
