To all FWD people with upgraded turbos!!!

I have a question, i want to get a 20g for my car, but i dont want the traction problems, i've heard that the 20 g has a longer spool up time than say a BIG or EVO 16g, so would that help? what are the pro's and cons to this?
Thanks!

Yes, a 20G has a slight bit more turbo lag, but I also have a 20G Compressor side and once it spools, it will rip your tires off the ground. Just go with good tires and If you ever need it, an LSD, and you should be ok. Of course you will also need a good clutch, Stock one will die very quickly with the power. That's the fun of a FWD, learning how to steer through the power

I'm running a frank 3 on my FWD and at 12psi I get wheel spin in 2nd gear at anything above 4000 rpms and I figure when I get it tuned at 20psi like I want that 3rd gear will be the same. LSD here I come.

I have a big 16g and lsd and break the tires loose from a roll in second. I have no torque steer at all but throw down posi strips. get a real good set of tires im running Hankook ventus HR2's 215/45/17 and they burn up pretty easy
