what turbo to get??

[niterydr]

I was thinking "400awhp" because everyone needs this much power because the internet tells them so. Once they actually have one that fast they realize what they do and do not need.

Maybe he does need 400awhp, then there will be a sacrifice of low end performance, on a 2.0L, to get where he needs to be.

I still think the evo 16g on E85 is the best street combo on a dsm.

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.

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

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
