I see it hard to beleive nobody mentioned the FP big t28..It flows aboutt he same as a small 16g and offers great spool..And for the 2g guys it does require an install kit.. More pricey than a used 16g..But still a hell of a turbo..

Forced Performance Turbochargers: DSM FP Big 28 Turbo

Actually the FB B28 flows more than a small, or Big 16G, and flows slightly less than an E3 16G.

E3 16g 550CFM
FP B28 530CFM
B16g 505 CFM

Is your car stick, or Auto. if it's an Auto, and you want ease of installation, and quick response from the turbo, an FP B28 is about the easiest. It Spools damn quick, and requires Basic Mods to run well. 190 LpH pump, 550cc injectors at a minimum, and a way to Tune.

No install kit required.
Fits like Stock, exactly like stock
Very Streetable
I've had one for Years, and I love it.
easily holds 21-25 Psi to redline.

Does anyone else have a concern about the e316g holding 30 psi to redline?

Not gonna happen, says the no-nitrous 16G record-holder.

for the price of a HTA68 you could also pick up a 50 trim bolt on PTE turbo.

...and then you'll have a turbo that makes the same airflow as the 68HTA but generates less torque, spools slower, and is lucky to make it to the first oil change without taking a dump.
