psi means nothing, there's a huge article/thread on it somewhere around here. basiclly it's all about cfm's, 15psi on a small turbo may make 300 cfm's and 15psi on a large turbo may make upwards of 900 cfm's, so the same amount of psi generated by two different turbos will make two drasticly different amounts of boost. how much boost the engine can handle is also dertermined by how it is built. are you planning on leaving the engine stock? or are you gonna rebuild it so it can handle more boost? either way, for a drag car, i would definiatly go for the gsr because of the extra displacment. have you taken the h22 into consideration? it is one bitch of a swap but for drag, a h22 turbo setup owns all other honda 4 cyl. setups.
