evo 3 16g or hta68?

[josh1095]

which one would suit my needs? eventually looking for close to 400whp. fully built bottom end, 1000cc, link, fmic, thinking of just going 2.5" turbo back catless(no need for 3" unless i want to go over 400 hp) i will have all the other goodies to go along w it. not a mindless bolt on, dont worry.
im planning on crower 264 or 272 cams... down the road. will the 68 bolt up w no mods? using stock o2 housing(ported of course) and internally gated?
prices are going up lately and im gonna grab one or the other very soon.
i want something streetable, never for the strip, just good roll ons.
im leaning toward the 68 right now but i found one place thats still selling the e3 16g for 600. same place is selling the 68 for 945. tough call

btw, if i dont abuse this thing, are they reliable? i dont run the hell out of my cars or trucks. FP supposedly has a good rep. but are MHIs built better?

If seen more then my fair share of engine break in threads on this forum. Forced induction motors must see boost to be broken in correctly. To the OP please use the search botton it does wonders.

Yes you are right but I guess I should be more spacific about what I mean.I have had some friends boost to much while breaking in and everything got loose and the rod knock came knocking on the door.But yes your right about that method a little boost never hurts as long as you don't beat on it.

If you can jump in and get that E3 16g for $600 go do it this very second! i placed 3 orders on 3 different sites and all were sold out for mine right at the new year. Finally got a rebuilt turbo last week but it took a lot of searching and i got lucky! but i would take the e3 16g over the other just for the quicker spooling it offers, but good luck on your build i can't wait to see the results!

I'd go with the fp- big t28 on a 2g for your goals.
