Earlier today I removed my small 16g turbo so I can try and port out the hot side a bit when to my surprise OMG the exhaust wheel was broken off :cry: The last time I ran the car I had smoke shooting out the exhaust and oil flowing out the exhaust manifold and couldn't figure out why. Now I know :( This is the second time the shaft brakes on me so I'm done with this turbo I was only pushing 17psi. Well the two turbo's I have narrowed it down to are HAHN RACECRAFT SUPER 16G and FORCED PERFORMANCE 18G. I wanted to get the opinion from people who know and used these turbos. I will be using the car as a Daily Driver so I don't want alot of lag and I'm shooting for about 350 whp at high boost. I'm also a big fan on sleeper cars which is why I ended up with these two. Any feedback on these turbos would help with my desicion :D
 
Can't compare the evo's turbine housing to our single scroll, its like compairing apples to oranges & will introduce alot more lag on our setups. Most owners/previous owners all tend to say the HRC Super 16g is much to laggy for the flow capabilities of the turbo. They never made much sense to me, power potential of a 16g turbo with the lag of a larger turbo. The 18g 6SL2 seems like a much better matched combo. A better flowing exhaust side vs your std 16g series mated to a larger/higher flowing compressor wheel.
Yeah sorry about that I forgot about the twin scroll. When I saw how the 6SL2 turbo I thought it would was a good set up.
Thanks for all your help guys so far I think I'm leaning more to the FP 18g. I'll probably get it with my tax money :) I already have the Evo exhaust manifold with some DIY porting so I hope it will live up to my expectations.
