Question Help with turbo selection
So my friend is trying to narrow down his selection of turbos to consider buying and cannot make up his mind on which one to go with. He is looking to buy an 18g and wanted to know what the best bang for your buck 18g is out there. So far he is looking at deadbolt, power enterprise, and fp. Which of these(or another one not mentioned) would you suggest and why? All advice is appreciated, thanks.

FP 20g, is what i would recomend.


what ever he gets, make sure it is OIL, AND WATER cooled. not just one or the other.

I wouldn't go bigger than an 18g on a 2.0...

A 16G on meth??? SS posted in another thread that he had one hit like 320whp (IIRC) on an upgraded TMIC.

Correction: 337whp/340wtq
