I see you have it up forsale on ebay so I guess your decision has been made

If you're not happy w/ 310 whp, your prolly gonna be really disappointed when you drop down into the 200's on for say a 16G. How much smaller are you looking to go? There isn't many options smaller than what you got that are gonna make good power. Im running a 60 trim hybrid and made 355 on 18-19 psi. But yeah there are so many small things that could be robbing you of valuable hp. I'd go over the car once more before going to a smaller turbo. Personally i dont think anything smaller than a 50 trim is worth it. I know i woulsn't pay $$ for a 16G. Just my $.02, but its your car man....

Actually, I'm not sure I'm going to sell it now. I inquired about the L2R through AGP and they said they were 3-4 weeks behind. So I think I'll keep the Green unless someone bids a ridiculous amount where I have no choice but to sell it. Oh well, we'll see.

So, you're not going to listen to anyone's advice and just slap a new turbo on?

Why not throw on a few more parts at the same time?

I'm debating whether or not to get rid of my Green for something smaller. I'm debating this because my car is a street car and I never go over 18psi. Am I wasting the potential of my Green by not going over 18psi? On pump gas and 18psi, I was only able to make 310whp. Would I have better results with a different turbo at 18psi and pump? If so, which should be my turbo of choice?



K&N, DSM-Performance intake pipe, FP Green, Big Greddy FMIC, UIP/Greddy Type-S, 60mm TB Elbow, 1G TB, 1G Intake Mani, 1G Head, ARP Head Studs, 1G Rods, ARP Rod Bolts, Polyurethane Motor Mounts, Magencor 8.5mm wires, Denso 660 injectors, Web Cams 546/547, Quaife LSD, RPS Stage 2 Clutch, Ported Exh mani, AHP O2 w/Tial 40mm WG dump to atm, RRE DP, Apexi N1 Exhaust, Walbro 255LPH, Apexi S-AFC, MBC, B&M Short Shifter, Greddy EGT/Boost Gauge

First of all quit wasting people's time with these questions and turn up the freakin boost. If you knew how to tune your car then you would know that you can run more than 18psi on pump gas. I run 20psi daily in AZ. Now I know you can run more with that cold weather in MN. Going to a small turbo isn't gonna make you any faster. The Green is a badass turbo. Geez it hate it when people always blame the turbo.

 

[Mistaspakles]

In my quotations, when did I ever blame my turbo? In my thread, I asked the question "AM I wasting the potential of my Green by not going over 18psi?" I did not say "I AM wasting.....18psi?" I also did NOT say that "a small turbo is going to make me faster". You should really take advantage of the fine Universities over in Arizona. My suggestion to you would be to take Freshman Composition, or at least get your GED.

Well when you say better results at 18psi what the hell does that mean. Does that mean more power which = faster. You say your car is a street car well the green is a perfect turbo for a street car. Your phrase..." I was only able to make 310hp." Sounds to me like your whinnin about the turbo. And yeah , your wasting the potential of a green. I suggest you sell it. Get a freakin clue.

Why would you sell the Green and go for the L2R. Doesn't really make any sense. I know the L2R is ball bearing and spools up faster, but if you're going to upgrade to something bigger, i would recommend something bigger than the L2R. Look into the t3/t4 kits they have on agp and rnrracing.

btw, Mistaspakles, what have you trapped so far with the Green?
