These are little 4 cylinder's, they can't do without boost.

People like you on here really make me appreciate the people on the EvolutionM board, I don't think I've seen anyone on there like that -- people just help each other without the attitude.
Well people like you, who respond with a quick one liner that doesn't help anything really don't garner much respect from me. At least you could have given an example with your statement. You still don't seem to realize this isn't a dsm I'm talking about. I axed this question because pretty much everyone here has experience and/or above average knowledge in the area of turbos, especially the 16g.

This is obviously going nowhere, and he has no wideband to see when he should stop turning up the boost, and the last thing I want is to be responsible in part for blowing someone else's engine up. But from what people say (in the starquest world), there should have been more of a difference. There just wasn't any improvement by switching to an obviously larger turbo.

This isn't English class where you write a paper and must state a list of examples. I was just stating the truth. I never slammed you, called you stupid, or anything else negative so I don't understand what lit the extremely short fuse. Still trying to help after that crap, I gave an example in a later post.

Just bolting on a different turbo doesn't mean you'll feel more power (especially at low boost); you just learned that just like everyone else that's done it. If you had the turbo about maxed out, that would be a different story. It seems like a waste to me, putting on a different turbo without making the most of what you already have unless the turbo was bad.
