Turbo Upgrade Suggestions Evo III or 18G

[jebsleo]

Hi guys

Looking for some help as I am somewhat confused which compressor wheel to upgrade to. I currently have a TD05H 16G 8cm2. I am looking to upgrade soon and looking to for a reputable turbo shop to rebuld and upgrade my turbocharger. I have currently spoke to SBR and FP.

Forced performace suggested I run the 18G compressor wheel.
SBR suggested the Evo III compressor wheel.

Looking to make 325rwhp, quick spool and some decent topend. I previously had a GT35R but found that too laggy for the street. Which wheel would spool faster? If, I'm not mistaken, the Evo III wheel is lighter? Which would help increase response.

Evo 3 wheel will spool faster and properly supported will make 325 WHP.

They both flow the same cfm, 550...and the evo3 16g is capable for about 400whp with the correct supporting mods and tune.

No, the 18G flows 600ish.

I think you can't go wrong with either turbo. Both have seen 11'sec passes at 118 mph and can support 400whp with A+ tuning.
