looking for a good street/strip turbo

[96awdbeast]

im new to this site, and wanted to get some opinions on what turbo to upgrade to. i see alot of guys running 50 trims, and they sound like a nice turbo. im not looking to spend more then like 900, i have basic upgrades, front mount, 550's, exhaust, u i/c pipe bov, fuel pump, blew my 18g up so now im looking for something bigger, have a safc II and getting a vpc.

If you blew up the 18g you might want to look into the 20g. there a solid turbo and it sounds like it would work with your setup.

most td06 20gs are more expensive than 50 trims

You are correct, Buschur upped his price on the 20g once he introduced the BR turbos. But for his mods he is probably set up nicely for a 20g, but his setup would work good for a 50 trim. My only concern would be do you need more parts to run a 50 trim compared to a 20g (manifold, external gate, oil feed, etc..)? In any case I have seen some sites that offer the 20g at a good price.

This is a nice option, because you don't have to mangle the water pipe to get it to fit. You also get the turbonetics 1 year no hassle warranty.

a good streetable turbo is a 16g with proper supporting mods. That turbo can hit 12's but it depends on what you want. A 50trim will have slower spool but can make much more horsepower.

the sbrgt11 is more exspensive but well worth it a 50 trim package that spools just a hair slower then a 16g you cant beat that...

If you see he already had an 18g. Although I would have recomended the 16g also, since my car has gone almost an 11 with the small, probably 11's with a big 16g. People give up on the 16g too easy. Also the previous owner of my car put an 18g on the car and didn't manage to get it to go faster. I like the 50 trims that people have shown without buying a lot of other parts to run it. In my opinion if your looking for a 50 trim go that way, the 20g is still an option of course.
