Check out his Instagram @artgennari there are a ton of turbo builds and dyno results documented from the whole range of turbos he offers.

AGT turbo's look interesting. I was planning on upgrading to HTA71 from my 9 turbo. Which AGT size would match up best with a HTA71 you think?

My Evo 9 will be stock head and cams (2.0 block). I am more interested in a responsive turbo.

I was extremely pleased with an FP red mhi on my stock evo 9. It will make around 380-400wtq around 4000 if need be and its proven.
For OEM + street car stuff .
Evo 8 = green mhi
Evo 9 = red mhi

FP's wheel design works well and its responsive. If you auto x I'd recommend an HTA 71 or evo 9 turbo. Great for auto x but too small IMO for everything else.

That would be pretty cool, however from my research this setup is not extremely common to begin with and totally unheard of where im located. Another thing is my GTX3584RS actually hits boost around 5500RPM, so already the G25-660R will be way more responsive then what im currently running.

AGT turbos are a good value for the money turbo. However, I don't think they will make the same power as the turbos that you were considering. A high quality wastegate that is preloaded and has the correct spring rate is the key to increasing spool up while minimizing lag.

The G25-660R seems to be just inbetween the FP Green and FP Red.

It has a similar spool response to the FP Green but can hold power close to the FP Red.

I have been checking out AGT turbos and as everyone here has said, they can make crazy jam with really good spool.

Nonetheless, I will have an battle in my brain now for which option to go. Thanks again for everyones input, really helped me understand.
