Spooling will suffer with the 20G just a little not being ball-bearing and all, but it will make tremendous power.

i'd say its an evo VIII, not a 3 but here's a thread that's been ongoing about buschur's 20G upgrade. Sound's solid. Buschur's 20G You can also purchase the Evo 6.5 (tommy makinen edition) turbo which is also 20G.

Is there a Flow Chart for that Tommy Makinen 20G? I've seen prices from $1,000 to $1,800 depending if you get the Ti internals or not. I would love to compare the flow charts of the different 20G's that are out there.

I thought the 6.5 was 16G just like stock but with the 10.5 hotside and Ti/Al internals

The Tommy Makinen is most definitely NOT a 20G.

Nope, it is not. Or if someone has found a *special* TME 20g I sure would like to see it and I bet David Buschur would too!

yeah sorry about that, TME isnt a 20G, however in that thread about the buschur upgrade they said you can upgrade a TME turbo which would make sense if you already have a TME turbo because you'd already be half way there. But if you upgrade the stock one, you get the same stuff. Here's the TME and you can even see "16G" on the side.
