    This has been discussed a million and seven times.

    What do you want to do with the car? Do you want torque? Top end?

    Also: Shooting for certain "numbers" on the dyno is silly.

    I'd type more but I'm at work. :laugh:

    From what I hear an STI turbo is usually a very standard and straightforward upgrade.

    Anything would work except i don't want a rotated set up. So sti turbo up to a 20g would work. I did not realize i have to tell you my goals sorry. Do you have a turbo or were you just posting some info for me.

    I think 16G would be pointless to upgrade for 2.5L too much work and just a little power gain. You need to look for STi or 18, 20, hta68 turbos. You might have better luck on NASOIC for that kind of stuff. GL with the turbo search.

    An hour and a half is a short period of time to be looking! haha

    And no, I don't have any turbos for sale, just trying to help you out and get some information for future thread-lookers.

    What's wrong with 16g on a 2.5L?
    People put a vf39 on it, why not a 16g

    Vf39 is cheaper than 16G and seems like people get less power with it.

    what Did you say your name was?

    tHE ROTATED IDEA MAKE SO MUCH SENSE. As soon as you change out your first turbo inlet and such.... you'll look at the car and think how much sense rotated set ups make.
