$1200 for new Turbo what do you suggest?

[TSi999]

Ive got a few SRT-4's and a RSX and civic with spray that im going to have something for this year at the track heh. They liked running me with the pathetic T-2small we'll see how they like it when the TSi has a real turbo.

Im considering an EVO III 16G or a .50 trim, but one of the bolt on ones that go for around $900. With the EVO I of course need the install kit etc so its not that much cheaper. With the 2wd im thinking that the 16G might spool to fast for what I want.

What do you suggest ??? btw I have searched and most of the threads about these turbos are for AWD cars, completely different in what that and a 2wd need in terms of spool, top end etc...

Thanks you all are awesome !

from your list of mods, it seems like you need to buy some other stuff first.

IM UPDATING MY MODS LIST NOW. Im considering either the Slowboy racing EVO III deal or the AGP .50 trim, both smokin deals great prices and I of course try to support sponsors of our site!

Yea a buddy of mine just ordered a turbo kit from AGP, cost him $1790 shipped, but its a good deal I guess. 50 trim turbo w/ polished compressor housing, Tial 38mm WG w/ external dump tube, tubular SS manifold, if you go to www.agpturbo.com its the turbo kit on the bottom right hand corner. You could get it for even cheaper if you choose different trim size and dont polish your housing which you can do yourself.

I have a 16g in my car and I have a FWD as well. The turbo does spool up quick but maybe with some sticky tires you will do good. I havent had that bad of problems with it, but thats because I am probably no where near its potential. I have my MAFT setup coming soon, and I am goign to tune it which will increase more power. Ill let you know how bad it is then. Good luck.

Thanks for the info bud. I can only imagine the first time you got into the throttle after getting that 16G on !!! Must of been such a good feeling !

Looks like that whole AGP kit is a bit more than I wanted to spend the bolt on one is looking great tho w/ internal wastegate.

Get the tubular exhaust manifold with the external wastegate.
Then go for the Evo III 16G and get rid of the flapper door and have it ported.

 

[TSi999]

WOW THANKS for the link that manifold is tight !

You could just get the regular tubular manifold and get an internally gated Evo III 16G and that should keep the cost down. This is what I want to get.
