which is better, the white rabbit or the 20g or a turbo kit

I am getting ready to buy a stock turbo replacement...which is the better turbo. one that starts to make boost like the stock from 3k on, and one holds it to redline. Which one makes more power, if both of the above are equal? Any ideas? I think I have a winner...check out my last post!

they both are kind of a waste of money for the power return. $1000-$1550 for 20 more whp isn't worth it. i'd go with a stocker and buy an alky kit. that seems to be the best bang for the buck.

There's not enough info. out there to compare the 20G to the WR. If I were you I'd wait.

I agree with what everyone has said as well...just give it some more time...I dont think 20-30 hp is worth 1-2k

1+, also, i look at it this way if you buy an alky kit or nos, youre going to pay 400-600 for it, then to fill it up constantly, eventually its going to surpass the 1500 mark. so you can either pay the 1500 now and be done with it or pay less now and pay more later. just my .02

That is my opinion as well... I had a nos kit on my VW Scirocco 16v and it was a pain to find someone to fill the tank all the time + I like 100% of the power 100% of the time I will just wait to see some of the results people are getting. My mechanic wants me to get a atp 3076 kit for 2x the money!but lots more power

You are asking a question that can't be answered yet... I'd like to see the results also.

WR vs 20G

No one has done a back to back test yet on the same car with these two turbos.

I think if your going to spend 1500k for a turbo, you might as well put your own kit together for 2k and make some real gains.
I really dont see either one of these turbos making any decent gains.

I agree that the price of these turbo upgrades is not on par with the performance advantage. As for comparing a 20g/WR to a nitrous kit, that is just dumb.

If the 20g/WR will give 20-30whp it will take 2-3 twnths off your et and+ 2-3mph.

any basic nitrous kit for $550 is capable of 100+whp gain and pulling over a full second off the ET and 10+mph. bottle fill should be no more than$40. for the price of a WR you can buy a nitrous kit AND the filling station with 150lb bottle!

wr vs 20g

As I read more and more and get peoples opinions...I will spend about 1500 + w install about 2k, I may be able to have an ATP 3071 kit installed for 3k only 1k more!! and get some serious gains w/o a huge spool up loss. This may be the best bang for the buck. Still checking though
