The EVO III 16G is not going to produce much more power than a a regular Big 16G. However it is a definate upgrade, and is a lot better turbo. Here is why:

The EVO III 16G has a stiffer WG actuator spring, the turbine housing weighs 2lbs less, the turbine outlet is 2.5" vs. 2" on the regular Big 16G, the compressor wheel on the two turbos is quit similar, the EVO III is only .010" larger, the compressor wheel blades are 50% thinner than the Big 16G. So it doesn't take a genious to a add all that up and get a quicker spooling, more effecient turbo.

Yeah its not a huge upgrade but its definetly a step up from the Big 16G. If you don't want to make huge huge numbers and just want a quick street driven daily driver for CHEAP (turbo is only $550) than its a good choice.

The turbo will make 400 hp with supporting mods.
