I just bought an evo and I still have my 95 tsi. I would like to get couple of answers. I would like to know how quick is a spool up on an evo with 20g turbo , used on a motor with cams and 3" exhaust. What is evo stock turbo rated at? I have a big 16 on my talon with built motor and I think that car is quicker than my evo. The turbo kicks in about 3K. I'm thinking of getting bigger turbo on an evo but I'm concern about turbo log. thank you

 

Nobody really does 20g's on an evo because as you will soon find out an evo is actually quite different than a talon. The evos stock turbo is reverse rotation and the manifold must be changed in order to put a proper rotation turbo on it. CBRD is doing upgrades to stock turbos if your in the market for some more power without the headache of changing everything. FP is also offering upgrades but id rather stretch my lower lip over my face before I buy something from there.(even though most people like their products)

 

I have an 03 evo that I purchased earlier this year came with a 20g. The spool with cams and a 3" exhaust is around 3200 rpms. Hope that helps. But i'm going to go with an fp red.

 

what's a good turbo that spools around 3k and has decent top end , better then stock turbo. I don't really want to go extreme

 

pump gas CBRD BBK Full....Race Gas FP RED...

 

Fp red... You can get around 400 hp on pump. Close to 500 hp with meth.

 

what turbo is good for somebody who just wants 350 awhp???
i dont want to go red and i dont want to change out to big injectors.

 

^^^^ i would say go with an EVO IX turbo

 

Turbo lag is over rated. Once you hit boost on a bigger turbo the lag is worth it. Break boost if you need to. But since you dont wat to go huge I would say a FP green or red would be nice.

 

IMO, since you are concerned about transient response and not spending your life's savings, I would roll with a stock IX turbo on E85 if you have it in your area. Stock IX turbos normally sell for $450-$550 here and a nice set of used 880cc injectors will run somewhere around $225-$250. A street tune (again if available in your area) usually runs somewhere around $200-$250. That puts you somewhere around $875-$1,050. This is cheaper than the FP Green, BBK Lite, BBK Full, and FP Red respectively.

 

let me know if you need anything...

i love the evo ix turbo....

but our BBK i just more everywhere with the same spool
