cant really find any threads on these turbos let me know what kinda power you guys are getting out of these turbos. influence my decision

Take a look SBRs Turbo Test page in the Tech Archive. Though IMO, the EVOIII 16G is better, cheeper, faster (and easier to sell when you upgrade) so may want to consider that as well

I would second what John said, the evoIII makes more power then the M trim & while some say their Vtrim pulls better then the evoIII, I believe SBR actually made more power with the evoIII in their turbo dynotest. From what I've heard the vtrim is very laggy for its size & they also tend to surge for many people (which seems strange, since they do spool slow...)

ive seen the evo III in action and it spools way too quick for a fwd i had problems with a small 16 at the track spinning 1 , 2 and some of 3rd so im looking for a little bit slower spooling

you guys will probably say get a 50 trim

Evo3 16g. You bought a FWD, now you learn the consequences. You will spin no matter what upgraded turbo you run.

Well if you want to help out traction abit a std bearing 50 trim may be the way to go as the power comes on more linear. But anymore power in a fwd without the proper mods probably won't be any better then the 16g you were running. Spend the money on things such as suspension, adjustable shocks, urthane motor mounts & most importantly a proper LSD. I've run my evoIII up to 22 psi on the street & traction isn't to much of an issue but my car has the proper supporting mods for a fwd .

Yes I blew my evo III up and just put in a bullseye v trim. They spool up alot slower than the evo III, and yes it does surge alot. I get like full spool 3900 in second gear. I miss the 16g low end torque. But yes the vtrim does pull harder and longer like at only 12psi than the evo pulled at 16psi! But overall I miss the evo III streetablility.
