Opinions of the following turbos...

[scheides]

I'll only comment on the ones I've personally used.

14b: decent for a stock turbo, holds decent boost, and until you ride in a car with something bigger, you're sure it's the fastest thing out there! holds 18-20psi to redline just fine. Very reliable.

Small 16g: probably what the 14b should have been, except for the boost creep. Nice little turbo, spools excellently and provides good power. My 2g came with one on it, and I was really happy with it while I had it. Had shaft play along the line of the shaft like crazy, yet hardly burned any oil and still spooled awesome.

20g's:
Bastard 20g: big power in a small package. Spools similar to a big/evo16g. made 280whp @ 22psi @ LSE, 338whp @ 25psi@ DB.
Hahn Super20g: 20g power w/ kick-ass top-end. Spools much slower than my bastard 20g. ~4000rpms. Made 280 whp on a mustang dyno @ 18psi on pump gas

The Td06 20g is my favorite turbo in the world, because of how reliable they are. Anytime I look at a used T3/T4 setup it 'just got rebuilt' or some shit. There are reliable cases too.

SCM61: big power for little money. Probably my next turbo.

Ive only run a t25, 14b, 20g, and a 50 trim.

t25 = Worthless
14b = Best bang for the buck if you are looking for 12's.
20g (td05h) = I didnt really care for it. I was expecting more top end.
50 trim = Pulls better than the 20g without much of a difference in spool.

My next turbo will have a 60-1 compressor. Im undecided on the specifics.

I like my SCM61. It sounds cool when I idle.

Then you need to read some of the above posts.

14b nice little stock turbo
16g not really any different than a 14b
50 trim - excellent street turbo for a 2.0
SCM61 - getting on the edge of my definition of streetable for a 2.0, great for a 2.4
T67 - probably my next turbo on the 2.4 if this one pukes. My car isn't all that streetable anyway, so screw it :D

Im liking these opinions.
Well heres mine so far:
T-25 - great turbo until 3000 rpms.

T-28 - Little bit bigger compressor and exhaust wheel. Cops cant tell the difference between this and stock.

14b - Heard good things, but looks way too small.

Small 16G - Decent Spoolup holds boost well.

Big 16G - More of these have been sold then Beatles records.

18G - Acura Integra turbo all the way.

20G - I know Slowwhite was having major issues with this one.

50Trim - The first time i drove with this on my old GSX i was freaked the fuck out when it pulled. But soon realised that its a lag monster on an automatic dsm. We will soon find out what she does with a FMIC and a Manual Tranny.

60Trim - No clue what one feels like.


GT35R - Big expensive turbo, heard great things though.

GT42R - Serious baby eater. and if i wanted 900+ HP this is the one i would likely go with. But who wants 900 HP?

You will be happy with the 50 trim on a manual. I consider it the perfect 2.0 street turbo.

I cant wait, but Im going to do this one right. Im only missing one peice which is a 3" intake pipe, if anyone knows where i can get one for cheap let me know please. I have all of the piping (welded and painted) for the FMIC, the couplers and t-bolt clamps, and the motor is ready for it, once i get the Intake pipe, ill install everything, and take it directly to the dyno to tune dsmlink. I have waited 4-5 months just staring at that turbo in my room, next month i will have enough extra money to get everything done as well as get a good set of tires.

what about the direct bolt on for 2g's, Forced Performance t-28 killer, any thoughts on that

thanks I just wanted something with a good bite but keeping the direct bolt on and stock appearance... So you recomend it??? FP says they got into the 11's with 21 psi.
