Question Borg Warner turbos

Hey everyone I had a few quick questions and wanted to know if anyone has any experience with Borg Warner turbos. I have my eye on the s200 50 trim, but to be honest I don't know too much about the actual turbo specs (in general). I heard it has excellent spool time and people seem to love it.

Will this be a big change from my s16g?

Is it possible to get as a direct bolt on?

Is it much bigger than the s16g?

Sorry if these seem like very trivial questions, but this turbo really caught my attention and was hoping people could help out with any helpful input...

I read up on all the threads on this forum talking about them, but like I said since I have limited experience with other turbos besides the 16g I really can't follow... Thanks a lot ahead of time everyone!

Borg Warner S200 (Bullseye S256) Review

No one I have seen is running one on a 420a yet though. They come in t3 form which would bolt right up to your manifold you have now.

Sounds really tempting... yeah I read that thread, but I'm still wondering about the size (clearance wise). That fast spool time sounds great for the street! Thanks for the quick reply.

it's not that big you should be ok with fittment. I would look into the .70ar t3 housing with vband outlet that will make things the easiest.

it's quite a bit larger than the 16g man. It can actually eat a 16g and still make 30psi. It makes huge power and amazing torque! More than most of the other tubos in its price range.

Idk what you mean by eat a 16g and still make 30psi but like he said it's a lot bigger and will make more power than just about every turbo in it's league siize and price wise.
