Yea he knows he has the wrong turbo. He is going with a large Garret and most likely will use that on his gvr4. He bought the wrong shit. The spool is crazy though.

Just a quick question wouldnt the 272/272 combo be better to get just in case if he goes with a larger turbo. Wouldnt you get more gains with the larger turbo.

Absolutely, if he is planning on going with a larger turbo than the 16G then definately go with a larger set of cams. That's why I went with the FP2 cams on the 16G because a 50 trim was in the near future for me. You will really see the gains from a more aggressive cam if you go with a bigger turbo that can keep up with the flow in the upper rpm range.

Im planning on staying with my 16g but would still get the 272 combo then, because that is one part I would not want to rebuy. The little loss is not much.

FP1/FP2 or FP2/FP2 combo as said above.

If you are getting Evo 9 injectors, stick with a 190 or EVO pump. You won't need a 255 and AFPR with the Evo 9 injectors. The 190 is good for about 400whp, which is more than the EVO III 16G can do.

I am running FP2/FP2 setup on an 18g, which is pretty much the same as the evo3 16g, and there is nothing that can touch me in 3rd and 4th. i get no traction in 1st and 2nd because of the one wheel peel, but in a GSX, this setup would rock. also got walbro255, and 550's. they are maxed out, and im running about 20-21lbs of boost. here's the link to the cams:

I currently have a evo3 big 16g with all supporting mods and i am doing a rebuild on a head, I will be using the comp 101200's which are the equivalent to HkS 272's and basically the exact same as the FP2's as comp makes FP cams. I heard nothing but great things about these cams and they dont need upgraded valve train. Also, i heard you dont lose much torque and you gain a good amount of HP even with the stock valve train and evo 3 flow. CHeck out those comps or try the 101100/101200 combo it equals a 264/272 combo.

My mechanin thought the same thing then he though a valve because of the FP2's. I would always get upgraded springs and retainers if you go with anything higher than a 264

I agree with him. I didn't upgrade my valvetrain when I put my cams in but the talon is not my daily driver. If you rely on your car everyday then I would definately put some springs and retainers in there when you put the cams in.

I did the spring and retainer upgrade simply becuase my motor had 120k on the clock. I did'nt want to chance valve float with the more aggresive cams.
