Now I have been reading alot of the "streetable turbo" and "best turbo" for a while on the site. I have a couple of questions. I am looking into a new set-up. I have heard alot of diffrent stories about the "16g killer turbo". Some bad and some good. Now if I do decide to run this turbo am I going to need a FMIC or can I run just a larger(alamo) sidemount? Also going to be getting my new S-afc and the 550cc ball injectors. Question #2- I was also talking to, I think Alex, AGP about the t3/t4 kit they are selling now and I know that I need to run a FMIC and definatly a data-logger. Out of these 2 which would be best suited for the highway. The "16g killer" for its bb or the t3/t4 due to larger size then the other. Also when I get back from the desert I should have my full agp 3in dp and test pipe along with my S-afc, profec b, 264/272 hks cams, and a magnus sheet metal intake mani, and ngk bpr7's and magnecore 8.5 wires. Also I don't plan on running more then 17 or 18 lbs of boost. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help.

Its no fair when you ask for it dude. Its VERY obvious that you need to do some more research. 16g killer? Keep looking grasshopper. Try PTE 995 for any flavor bolt on turbo you want.
 
Go with the "laggier" t3/t4 kit. I think the 16g would hit to hard and hert you more then help. The pocket logger is the best option to go with, to read the stock ecu anyway. With the t3/t4 I would say a garrett t3/t4 50trim stage 3 .63a/r(4bolt housing) if possible. This is a proven turbo to post major whp numbers and in the right hands, low ets as well.
 
God i feel so bad and honestly don't know what to say when people ask about these killer and super turbos's. Please guys Im going to hold back this time, but if ANY of you are considering these killer or super turbo's, just reasearch a lot and read up about them...thats it

Mike,

Please do not go with the killer over something lieka full garret setup...that would be foolish in all honesty. There is no comparison between the two except the killer may have the agp kit by spool up a little but that is as far as that turbo prevails...you said you want cams, sheetmetal...etc None of this would really be put to use with such a small turbo. Talk to Kevin or any of the guys from agp and ask them this and what they think. You will learn as time goes on that making the right choice is hard cause you change your mind so damn much, but trust me on this one buddy and call AGP...

Since when is the 16G killer ball bearing?

What T3/T4.. you know there are lots of different combos right?

274/272 cams and a sheet metal intake manifold when you dont intend on running over 18lbs of boost? What exactly are your goals for this car??

Larry I just plan on running 18lbs for daily communte, but when track time comes or I am on one of my many raod trips(to get out of NC) I would like to turn it up a little. Just for more highway fun. Goals=just to be able to put to rest a couple of mustangs and numerous other f-bodys around NC. Not hating on them, just having fun.

Thanks Austin for the tips, I will be def. thinking of what you said, and will also call Kevin when I get a chance. Being in the desert I have my internet every once and awhile but not many phones to use. Thanks again to everyone for the inputs.

Mike
