I cant decide on the vf22 or 18g. 91 octane performance wouldnt differ much but on a race gas map I think the bigger turbo would be much better. I dont think I would get the greddy one, too expensive.

On the 2.0L I would say get the best all around turbo you can (good spool without sacrificing top end and vice versa). IMO, that translates into an 18G. The VF39 would be the other, much cheaper, option I would consider. My buddy's Stage 4 WRX with VF39 would walk stock STi's like there was no tomorrow. And he only paid $300.00 for the turbo!

Now Im all confused again
I dont know whether to go with that or the vf22...FP18g is oil cooled but the 22 is oil and water.
