Yea they have been around for a while but everyone is jumping at the same turbos at once....

People used to try all kinds of wheels and turbo, but it has been proven over time that some turbos just work better, which is why you see wheels like the 50-trim used in so many turbos now.

Pretty soon people will put some other engines and turbos in a "dsm" and still say its a dsm.* I dont know maybe its just me but alot of this bigger is better stuff just doesnt cut it for me right now...* Some of the people dont even go throught the 16g or little bit bigger phase... they just jump into a 50 trim or a 56 trim and think they will run 11s.* Its fun to watch though.

Well, a 16G isn't a huge step up from a 14B. You don't have to goto one to run 12s. This board probably has a higher per capita number of people who actually ran 12s on the 14B than most. Cher, Adam, my girlfriend and I dunno if anyone else ran 12s and some decent mphs on the 14B. My gf went from the 14B to a 50-trim. A 16G just wasn't a big enough step at the time and a decent 20G is often a bit more expensive then a Garrett hybrid. A 50-trim is a fine street turbo though, it isn't anything that crazy. The 56-trim is quite a step up though, that wheel flows like a T61. Nobody should be stuck between choosing a 50-trim TO4E or a 56-trim GT40, they aren't exactly in the same range. There are atleast 5 good compressor wheels inbetween those 2 sizes that could be used if you wanted something a little bigger than a 50-trim T04E.

Im just saying whats past a 56 trim or bigger than that.* Is there an end to turbo upgrades?

There isn't an end exactly. The turbos we use are small compared to what find on bigger displacement cars. The 60-1 is pretty much the starting point for the Supra guys. With more displacement, higher rev ranges, nitrous and new turbo technology people will keep trying to put bigger and bigger stuff on. Doesn't mean we will go fast though.
