14 or 16?
I've pretty much decided on a DSM turbo for my project but I'm having trouble deciding which one to get. My goal is 200whp.
The 14b will spool quickly, but I'm afraid it will run out of breath at the top end. The small 16g will definately have enough breath but the spool will suffer.
I think what I will do is keep searching for both and buy whichever one I find for the right price first, unless there is some reason to stick to one over the other. A little searching didn't reveal many people running either one, but I got a couple dyno graphs that lead me to believe I won't have any problem with top end on a 14b.
Does all this sound like good reasoning?

Yeah, the T25's are even more disposable.
On my talon (with my old 2.0) held 17-18psi to 7,500rpm with a 14b. Small 16g held more like 20psi to the same. Both should work great for your goals. If you get a good deal on the 16g go for it. They spool almost exactly the same. If you want amazing spool get a T25 or 13g (flows a little more than the T25).

The T25 confuses me. Most of the ones I see for sale are T25/28 or other hybrids. They also come in a bunch of different A/R ratios, right? The 14b is pretty simple as they're all the same from what I can tell.
