not a ton right now. I just want to find a used turbo that's in good shape that will last me a while
and do I need 400awhp honestly I would say no it's more of a want ;). I haven't completely ruled out the evo III 16g. it is definitely the best bang for the buck
Mightas well go for 500 then! Srsly.

Know a guy with a heavy ass Galant VR4 with an HX35 at 20psi. He shits on every E16g car in the area. He creeps up on Z06's and Ferrari's and kills them on the highway. No DSMlink. Only AFC II. Matter of fact just recently doing a pull on the highway he smoked a bolton HTA3582 Galant VR4. Great street turbo. Evo 16g will spool a little faster than a bolt on HX35. But the power will not drop off like a E16G. Also when the time comes (because it will come) there is plenty of power left on the table when you decide you want to go faster. Holset is basically a BW turbo without the extended tip and cheaper.

the only bolt on holsets I've been able to find are the bullseye ones (new) and I kinda want to stray away from bullseye this time around and I don't have the money for a new turbo and haven't found any used ones locally so a holset really isn't an option right now

and honestly right now I don't know if I can flip the bill for an external wastegate setup like most the turbos I actually want need. so that leaves me with a new v-trim like I have now cause they are cheap or a new eIII 16g cause they are the same price (or maybe a used one). I guess it just depends on how long I want my car out of commission
It is always a balance of cost, downtime, and goals.
Good luck with your turbo search. There are nearly endless combinations that will get you to 400awhp on a DD w/o corrections, just depends what you want to pay to get there and what you want the car to be.

the car is setup pretty good right now all I need is e85, a bigger turbo and maybe freshen up the short block

Good luck. Just take your time and make sure you get the best option for your price range. If you have a little extra cash you can get this. Closet thing to an external with all the benefits.

I still think the evo 16g on E85 is the best street combo on a dsm.
I agree... Even if I had a 2.3 I would probably still use an Evo III 16g because I like torque and lower end power.

That is my setup, Evo316g 2.3 and E85. Good enough for 348awhp 360tq at DB and a 11.7@118mph
