    Doesn't the pe1820 use the p20 exhaust housing (same as vf22).
    Seems like you could get the same (or more) performance for less money.

    WAAAYYYY to much money for what you will get out of it. 16g evoIII will put down more power that a 1820. And the lag that a 1820 is good for, you might as well run a 20g. IHI exhaust housing are some of the worst housings on the market.

    I like the idea of a smaller dual ball bearing turbo with a less restrictive exhaust housing, the pe1820 fits the bill, but is it worth 1000 used?

    prolly not when I have got a td06h 20g in the garage....

    so any one on here wanna buy a vf39 with 23,000 miles on it? cuase I think I might be putting the 20g in very soon.

    $300-$350 is about right for a that turbo. I got one with 5k miles on it for $375.
