According to MAP's site and a friend of mine, the Evo III 16g's are rated at 39lbs/min, 18g's are rated at 40 lbs/min, the TD06 20g is rated at 48lbs/min and FP greens are 50lbs/min. Also for comparisons sake, the TD05H 20g (bastard 20g) is rated at 44 lbs/min.

In my opinion, the 20g's are kinda worthless. Sure they are a good turbo, but new they are like $1200. Why would you do that when I could get a PTE 50 trim thats going to flow more for $300 less? The 18g's are a good replacement for the Evo III 16g IMO, they dont flow hardly any more, but they do have a more favorable compressor efficiency at higher boost levels. I would put a Evo III 16g on a pump gas street car, but someone looking 22+ lbs of boost I would recommend a 18g.

IMO: Evo III 16g < 18g, 20g < 50 trim.
