Re: Help me choose a turbo setup!

Maybe ride in or drive some cars. Check out Brads setup with the FP3065 on a 7.8:1 compression stock 1G motor. There are a bunch of quick 16G E85 cars. 1Quick4 has a 50-trim E85 stock beat motor in his GVR4.

Nothing is going to touch the spool to power ratio of an Evo 3 16G, but you probably aren't going to get close to 400awhp on a Dyno Dynamics with a stockish 1G motor. The 2Gs and Evos with their compression ratio and heads usually shine with that turbo. A 20G is a decent turbo, but the 16Gs are so good nowdays that it isn't much of an upgrade and usually not cheap. The normal GT3076 turbos aren't anything to crazy, they have a small amount more potential than your run of the mill T3/T4 turbos. The jump from the T3/T4s and GT3076 to the 61mm turbos is a little big, they are laggy on the 2.0ls, but they have a lot more power potential. If you can afford an FP turbo, then look into them. Even the older ones always spool very well for their size and still make good power.
