8 to 10 pis with what kind of flow. A 16g does not flow the same amount of air at 8 psi as a GT47. I hate how people define power by PSI.
A good turbo for you would be GT2876r. Its a nice midframe turbo should be able to provide over 300 whp if wanted but can be more conservative used if desired.

check out the forced induction threads/stickies. Theres pretty good explanations on picking turbo sizes. What do you want, a small, quick spooling turbo that'll peak fast, or a big, slower spooler?

I agree that a GT28 would be probably about the size you will want.

you've never heard of a GT28 before? Thats one of the most popular 4 banger turbos out there. GT2860 and GT2871.
Its a good one. Whats your budget though? A newer borg-warner turbo would be very nice, though i imagine theyre a little on the pricey side. Also, I imagine a K03 or K04 would be a good one for low power levels and maintaining a quick spool (as the LNF demonstrates)

What I meant was that given the same volume in the intake tract/head/cylinder that 8psi of air is 8psi of air as long as we aren't talking about temperature. A bigger turbo isn't going to "fit" more air into the same psi in a fixed volume.
Unless I'm way off my rocker in which case help me out. lol

Otherwise, yes, you're correct
