I'm a fan of buying (and selling) used parts, it's a good part of what makes this hobby fun for me and the reason why I have more of an affinity for the DSM community rather than my other car community (1965 Mustang) where people generally buy once and change their minds less.
I needed a turbo and the used market was turbo thin so I just bought an Evo III 16G from ExtremePSI. Then of course within a week I see an HTA68 and FP Green for sale for around what I paid for the E316G. The Green is for an external gate off the O2 but the thing is I have a 38mm gate on the shelf and an O2 sensor housing was one of my other purchases, so it could easily have worked.
I'm going from a 6766 on a 2.3L making 708hp down to the E316G. The E316G is probably a little small for my application but it's also a sure bet for quality and reliability being a brand new MHI turbo. That Green probably would have been a better match though. I should have been more patient.
