It all depends, what are your goals? The evo 6 16g maybe overkill, but like i said it all depends on what you plan on doing with it, if all you want to do is boost 19 psi you can do that with an evo 3 16g. Give us some more detail and maybe when can give you better feedback.

im aiming to get 12 or 11's on the quarter mile

im think about the FP 16g but 1170..................

I would just go with a plain 20g. A lot cheaper and proven to run 11's on stock internals. Actually I think Shep went high 10's on one back in the day. But if you are going for a stock look the sleeper 16g is nasty.

The "sleeper 16g" looks very promising but it is hard to justify the price. Also, dont forget that it was designed to be run in the higher boost range which might not always be ideal on the street or as a daily driver.

If you are interested in a very slightly used FPSleeper16G I know someone that has one for sale. PM if you want details.

I'm waiting on my install kit so i can put my FP sleeper 16g on and its taking forever to come in!!! Naw realy its only been like 3 business days im just so anxious haha. I'm planning on pushing 20lbs low boost and 25lbs high boost. THATS why i choose the FP 16g also i only got it for 400 bucks used with only 1000 miles on it and it only got boosted 16lbs ### the idiot that previously owned it was un-tuned and his car was a turd for some reason. But hey i couldnt resist the offer. It has ZERO shaft play and its ported like a MOFO and the wastegate spring is 3 times stiffer than the EVO 16g it has a WAY bigger wastegate, and the wastegate flapper is also monstrous(can you say wtf is boost creep? HA!) I wish they showed more pics of it and gave all those details but i guess their serious about the "sleeper" part. And did i mention it has a 34mm INTERNAL wastegate? HELL YEAH! So i guess thats pretty much the details on the FP16g. If im incorrect in anyway or if i missed anything please correct me or add on. As you can see im all for this turbo. It's way better than the EVO 16g and NEVER and i repeat NEVER buy an ebay 16g . I saw one up close from the guy who i bought the FP16g from and it only had 5000 miles on it and was never boosted over 15lbs and it felt like i could litterally wiggle the entire compressor housing out of the inlet port . It had OUTRAGEOUS shaft play. In-n-out, left-n-right, i mean it was horrible for only being 5000 miles old . So enough of that. Back on topic . Save up your money and get the FP16g if you want to run 11's really easy. Once i install mine and have fun feeling a 25lbs of boost pull from the FP16g compared to the stock T25 16lbs pull! Ill come back and post about hom much i nutted my pants from the difference . I wont leave out any details on the ups and the downs. Hope this helps. I so need to go to bed now. PEACE!
