20g or 50 trim
ChrisUlrich ,
This thread has gone was off topic. Your stated goal was to run a 116 trap. This is a pretty conservative goal so go for a conserviative turbo. A 20 9G 6 blade from Turbochargers is less than $900. You will however have to add meth and crank the boost to get the real power out of it. I went 12.0 @ 117 on it with 26lbs and a very conservative tune. I know there are a lot of hater on this turbo, but is does a lot for the price especially if you are going from and o3 turbo with a 9.8 hotside. It is a good cost effective option for those who are not neccisarily looking for the most power, but looking for decent power on a small budget. In the real world I ran a friend on mine with an AMS 50 trim all other mods are identical. Dead even from a dig through third gear. He started pulling hard on me after that. Nothing a push of the N20 could not fix

I got a ride with Blockheds (Adam) car... the pull was very intense. To be honest... he didn't pull like a freight train like I thought he would on my buddies bolton SRT4. But once we got into 3rd and banged 4th... holy god it was like the SRT4 completely fell off. So I can see the FP Green hanging with a 50 trim til the 50 trim can hang in the top end of RPMs longer and really take advantage of the minor size difference it has (Which is very minor).
Get off your high horse brotha... hahahah That makes a ton of sense. And he never said he had nitrous... it's just something nitrous couldn't fix. We know 50 trims can perform well. No one is doubting that. People are just addressing the bang for the buck feature. Bang for the buck, the 20g LT is a better buy then a 50 trim if you don't want to upgrade further.

I know evotech personally and he does run NOS......I'm not hatin, just wondering when and where those runs were made, anyhow it doesnt matter.....
I hear what everyone is saying and I must admit that this thread is pretty good reading...even from IRAQ!
Reading through everything to this point, I've seen various trends of thought. The ones I'd like to comment on are the maxing out the stock turbo and the 50 Trim. I thought about the maxing out the stock turbo route but then a good friend of mine sold me a non-ball bearing 50 Trim for...let's just say...a steal!
I compared the various parts needed to complete the 50 Trim (turbular exhaust manifold, 44mm wastegate, etc.) to the "maxing out the stock turbo" route and going with the 50 Trim came out to being nearly $1000 cheaper.
I understand that there are shortfalls for going the non-ball bearing route, but I'd be crazy to believe that it would still outshine the stock turbo completely maxed out. My ultimate goals are to have a very streetable 425whp on meth.

I think its almost pretty impossible for a 50trim with all bolt ons to not outcost a stock turbo setup. For both turbos, (if maxing out stocker) you need FMIC, piping, full exhaust, cams, tune, yada. The only thing youd also be getting with the stock turbo is 02 housing and manifold, both of which are not expensive. So Im not sure what "build" youre talking about.
Also, a non ball bearing 50trim is junk. As far as Im concerned the spool on the 50trim BB is nothing to call home about. A stock turbo meth'd car would wipe the floor with a 420whp 50trim car.
