HX35 housing with install lines(from SBR)= $390
Recirc 38mm o2 housing= $550
FP main= $200
255 lph pump= $90
AFPR= $210
Total= $1440
Now this is obviously using all new parts and lines and not taking into account reusing or modifying old lines, ALSO the fact that Im going to need the recirc o2 housing, there's the biggie (since I wouldn't need this if the turbo were internally gated). No matter what, my budget involved getting the FP mani with any turbo...
THIS is how I got my $1500.
Street turbo, that bolts on? Why not consider the e316g? You want something under 1500$ with potential for 400+ hp/tq???
With my own experience I would say e316g, I have used that turbo from basically a stock form GSX to where I am at now. Which is in both the 400+HP/TQ area.
E316G is pretty dang cheap to compared to a lot of turbos, I only have experience with the e316g for that size of turbo(no experience running a holset or 20g or anything like that)
My next turbo well be a BW S259 bolt on.
Heres a log, if you have ecmlink you can view it....just posting up my number to back my 400+ claim.
400+hp/tq log
This log was taking yesterday, running 21-22psi, well you can see on the log.
What do you think would better seeing all my cost issues yet looking at future expanding: buying the internal gate or the recirc 38mm o2?
Theres a reason everybody has an EIII 16g. They work. It has the highest bang for $$ out of any bolt-on turbo. It's not even hard to run in the 11's with one and some E85. Honestly, 14b spool and 400whp, all for $600. you can't beat that.

I just moved to a 20G from E3 16G. I just started trying to tune it so I am no guru yet.
My first impressions, the 20g actually starts spooling quicker than the e3, but reaches full boost a couple hundred rpm later. The 16g is known for hitting boost and power band all at once. The 20g starts pulling at lower RPM and just keeps pulling! This makes it much more streetable than the e3 and gives more HP potential. Cost - look for a used one, there is guy on this board that rebuilds and sells 20G's for under $500.
So quick to put down a good car! I thought I was on a DSM board!
My whole point was, the e316g has a lot to offer!
42lb/min
Displacement FTW!
If you want better spool, about the only thing you can do is get a smaller turbo.
