Hey there hot-air gurus, I got a quick question for ya. In the two weeks since I bought my GN, several of my import-driving freinds (they drive imports, but are actual car guys... i refuse to associate with auto-ignorant ricer type folk) have asked me what size turbo it has, and I feel like a moron when i have to tell them I dont know. Can someone help me out? My knowledge about our turbos consists of the fact that its a garrett (sp?) but i dont know what size, (t3, t4, etc.) If i recall, the ta-33 is a stock housing with upgraded internals (please correct me if im wrong), so what does that make our turbo? Although, when my freind with a turbo'd integra was proudly telling me how hes going to turn up the boost on his 1.8 liter to 8-9 pounds, it put a smile on my face to tell him that my 3.8 liter runs 12-ish pounds stock :) although until i get my boost gauge installed in a week or 2 here, i really dont know where mine is at (i suspect considerably less). thanks for the help!
 
the stock turbo flows about 390cfm and i believe is t3 size. the ta33 flows about 800cfm, and has T04E compressor wheel. also it sounds like the person with the integra probably has stockish compression, which would be why he is probably running low boost.
