stupid turbo ?

[toomey200]

if i have my evo 3 b16g on my car at 14psi will that cause the same amount of wear as a t25 at 14psi on my stock motor?

well the evo 3 16g may be pushing the same PSI but it is flowing a higher CFM (Cubic Feet a Minute) then your T-25 so essentially, yes it will wear more then a T-25 but what exactly do you mean wear? the turbo itself or a particular part of the engine?

Wear is all relative.

How you drive, what oil you use, driving conditions like towing or uphill.
Whether or not you hammer it all the time, the tune, coolant temperature.

It's not as clear cut as one turbo will "wear out" a motor more than another.

I think nearing a couple PSI higher, the t25 is getting out of its efficiency range whereas e316g will still be good.

If your making more power more things will break and wear down faster.If you take care of your car you'll be fine plenty of people run 16g's 50 trims reliably on their daily driven cars.
