The guy I purchased my FP td05 8cm 20g said he made 348 hp on this turbo with a 2.0 and meth. Which would give you the option to run a lower number without the meth and then turn it on when you wanna go fast. A 20g may be a bit laggy on the 2.0 though.

 

Yeah, imma stay away from the 20G. I got an email back from extremepsi and they said the 18G's are discontinued....they have the 18G-XTs now...dunno anything about the XTs. I'll look into a VF34 or fall back on evo3-16G

 

I thought I heard rumors that the Evo3-16G was discontinued as well? Personally I hope those rumors are false, but haven't really confirmed nor denied them. It's possible people were just referring to the Evo3-16G from maybe 1 of the companies that sold that particular turbo though. IDK.

 

The XT turbos have a forged, billet compressor wheel. It's supposed to help with spool-up. If you were set on an 18G before, you should probably just go this route if possible. You'll be on the upper end of the VF34 powerband if you want to make 280 whp at a minimum, and right in the comfort zone of the 18G-XT for 280-350 whp.

 

Yeah, it's most likely from a particular company. I called up Extremepsi and they checked for me and they did in fact have the EVO3-16G in stock and read to ship within 24 hours.





So I finally did it after some time of deliberating and searching...I just ordered the Evo3-16G (PnP, upgraded actuator, stainless steel oil feed line) from extremepsi. The only reason I went this route is that, I know I'll get anywhere from 270-285WHP with my setup on either 91 or 93 octane (most likely I will tune her on 91 octane kuz there's more abundance). That should be more than enough power for me, FOR NOW. If I ever decided to get more power, all I can just buildup the 16G turbo. My injectors already have way more than enough headroom for playing with anyways, and I already have my turboXS intercooler, so I'm set.

When the day comes to get tuned by EQ, I'm going to ask if I can get it tuned on 91 first, and then tuned on E85...that way I have a map for DD and a map for going fast =] =]...IDK if that would be worth it though you think?

 

Also, I just picked up my injectors and I took a look at them...the bottom of the injectors say "denso" but I ordered them from deatschwerks...am I just tripping or what?

 

Deatschwerks and other injector companies often buy their injectors from OEM mfr's such as Denso, Bosch, etc. Their process is typically to either flow match them as-is and sell them as they are at their listed flow rate, or else modify them to flow at a certain rate and then match them within a certain specified range so they can sell them as sets.

AFAIK, the common aftermarket injector companies such as DW, PE, ID etc. do not actually manufacture any of the products they sell, rather they market a product they enhance.
