It's $1000 to upgrade... and there's plenty of reasons that it's worth it to get it new...

a) it's new
b) no downtime for a daily driver
c) I can have the hotside ported & coated at my convenience
d) no wait... the turnaround for upgrades is 6-8 weeks, that's lame

This is as-is from FP, the basic setup, no additions. I'm having it ported & coated before it goes in

Not planning on cams unless I'm really far off my goal

400whp is going to be iffy w/o alky or some way to run high boost...prolly need cams and also ported TB&IM, then if you're still a little ways off, order up an HFS-1 or HFS-5 and you'll be set!

Shame,

Good plan. I would ask that when you do your comparo please keep the boost level the same as well. Many EVOGreen threads compare stock turbo at 22psi with EVOGreen at 28psi. Of course the Green is way more HP. DUH!!! I'd like to see how a Green actually performs in a direct comparison at the same boost level.

Thanks...

Here is a Graph that compares the gains on my set-up, with just the addition of the 20GLT and supporting mods, such as injectors, Forge IX actuator and re-tune. 30 psi.

Red/Blue=stock 16G 9.8
Green/Dark blue=20GLT

Pretty nice gains from start to finish. It shows the 20G has very much the same spool characteristics as the stock small VIII 16G..

This was back last year when I first installed it. Same Dyno.
