. The 16G on our car is Better than a 20G from an older dsm. Heck even Mr. Buschur has TESTED this for days on the dyno. The stock turbo has gone 10.9 already by the famous Curt Brown.
Also i am making 400whp/431torque on the stock turbo

At low boost, i forgot how much pressure (well under 20psi), it's as flows as much as a b16g at 20psi. Hey, I gave my opinion, and the original poster can go by it, and end up like the famous AMS evo, or can end up like KILTERMAN, because he knows everything.
blah blah blah hey jag off read the title it asks "how do I make the stock turbo better?" not stock turbo sucks which should I upgrade too? I may know everything but with this comes the knowledge to READ

Edit. Mods, I really tried to give my opinion in the most clearest way possible, and this person is just trying to start something. Just delete the irrevelant theads or lock it if you must. I'm unsubscribing.

i'm pretty sure you can kim. 10.5 hotside is a cheap upgrade for the stock turbo. it makes decent gains. the gains are all across the powerband too. My tuner said my car w/ 10.5 hotside had more low-mid torque than he's seen on other evo's. i don't think spool is slower w/ 10.5 hotside either. IMO. didn't road and track make like 20 more horsepower with the '05 evo(10.5 hotside) than the '03 previously tested? 20hp--->300-400 bucks is pretty cheap to me.
