turbo debate

[azkikr10]

i currently have an 18g turbo im waiting to install. my question is should i keep my 18g or scrap it and go with a forced perfomance green turbo. what are the pros and cons of each. i want my car to stay a daily driver so yah, any help will be appreciated.

fp green has been voted as the most powerful street-drivable turbo a few times. cost is the big downside. it's all about how fast you want to go and how much you want to spend to get there

im not worried about price i just want to make sure its streetable. it is a direct botup right?

FP green hands down over the 18g for a street car. Scrap the 18G and get the FP green, you wont regret it.

^ like they said.


Green>18g, the green has been proven MANY times.

Got a buddy with the Green, runs consistent 11's and loves it.

If you have the money go for the Green...if the 18g is right there and easy to install...than why not...damn...at least use it while you save for the Green. Also this way you'll get more experienced with turbo installs.

it's set up for an external wastegate... i'd buy it if i could comfortably afford that, a tial >=40mm wastegate andmodifying my manifold... or something to make that external wastegate work
