depending on which one all those turbos you mentioned will spool around 3500-3800.
Also depends on how it gets tuned too.

By spool I mean full boost lol.
Then again. I don't have power till that range either.
Turbo is spooling at idle....

16gxt or hta68 was the plan on my 2.0L but I was reading there were better options for the 2.5L.
I wont be going the twin scroll route due to a) needing to switch to equal length ex manifold b) jdm kits availability and cost not being worth the hassle.
Considering the 18g and 20g variations pnpd. Hta 86?? What kind of spool/lag am I looking at with those? Anyone care to chime in thats running that setup? Anyone willing to take me along for a ride on that setup?
Is that the OG version or the newer one? also at what rpm did you hit full boost and what was your setup?

Isn't an HTA68 an 18G TD05 housing with a 20G cartridge? Or more blades?

There is no engine longevity but there is at the same time. Kennon's motor is already about to go with the XTR.

He has a Blouche Dom 1.5XT (56mm) that pushes even more air then the 20G-XTR (46mm). Personally i believe it's all in the tune. Honestly i think once you go bigger then stock turbo you just have to be prepared.
