uhh im going to try to answer this. First, i hope you realize about all the work and time you will need to do in order to turbo your N/A car. Assuming you know that, than i wouldnt bother with a 16g on a 2.5liter motor. It would be nice and smooth but wouldnt feel too powerful. Go with FP green, if your looking for mid-range, and GT35R if your going for high-end power.

oh my fault, i thought it said 2.5 i, lol. In that case 16g is kinda small for a 2.5l motor. the pull will be smooth but wont have enough high end. If you want alot of mid-range power get an FP green or 20g. If you just want massive high-end get a gt35r.
