I loved my old hahn super 20g. We had a new PTE 50 trim before also and had a terrible time getting a tune on pump gas with it. It always knocked. GT35R-we'll see pretty quick.

big 16g was a good turbo. 60-1 waste of time imho. I'd just go with the scm61. gt42r is a dyno numbered turbo, not too street friendly, but likes higher trap speeds. gt35 is a good turbo, basically a 61 (from what I know). 20g is about the same as the new evo twin-scroll turbos, in terms of power.

I loved my 20G. Id say 20G or 50trim FTW on a street car.

T-25
Torquey

T-28
Why bother?

14b
Enough for 10s in the 1/4 mile.

Small 16G
Noticeable lag.

Big 16G
Sounds a bit big.

18G
All the power of a 16G with the lag of a 20G.

20G
Unstreetable.

50Trim
Is this a T3/T4?

60Trim
10 more trim than the 50-trim.

60-1
Good for a low boost V8s.

GT35R
Is this some new fangled turbo? Is the "R" for race?

GT42R
You got a semi there?

Never been a fan of the 50-trim, but I think either the Big/EVO 16G or 20G makes the perfect street turbo.

[Thor06]

T-25 = Gay
T-28 = Just get an Evo III 16g
14b = Good starter
small 16g = Why?
big 16g = Might as well go Evo III 16g
Evo III 16g = Good "mild street" turbo, lower power goals
18g = Evo III's are cheaper and make the same power
20g = good turbo, but its too fuckin expensive
50 trim = good alternative to the way more expensive 20g
60 trim = might as well go 60-1
60-1 = good for a bit more power
GT35R = on the big side, I wouldnt street it
GT42R = too damn big

Tom, a 50 trim or a 61mm most likely fits your needs for going through the gears. The 50 trim might spool better in reverse. :)
