I think the octane of running unleaded only will hold you back from running boost levels that would challenge the stock head bolts.

I have been out of here for 4 solid days in school. Dyno/EFI training. Seems you can always learn something!
From page 9, post #132. 4tune8, yes, I feel this is a good upgrade over the stock turbo, if I didn't I would not sell them and that is a fact. I need sales but I don't need sales from parts that I don't believe in and we won't sell junk that doesn't work here.

4TUN8,
I think my first response did answer your question, just not directly:0)
Yes, of course I would do it but only at the right time. The right time is after you have completed our Stage 4 first. At that point if someone is happy with their EVO, which they should be, and doesn't want a lot of additional lag from a larger turbo then this is the right choice for the car. At that point if someone is thinking another 100 whp is what they want then this isn't the right choice.
You have to remember. We have shelves of turbos here. Ranging from mild to "holy shi t is that a thing huge". I have 9 guys working here. We own 7 EVO's owned between us. Right now, today, of those 7 EVO's 3 have 20G's on them and are daily driven (mine is sitting inside until the weather gets nice but you get the idea). Another one of the 7 is getting a 20G as soon as we get a chance to start working on the car. Remember that it is just as easy for any of us to take a GT35R off the shelf and install it. Just to sum up the rest of the car, Jarrod's is getting a new GT BB upgrade that we want to try out, the other car is our black drag car with a GT45R on it and the last car is my brother's red car that right now has the stock turbo on it....he may go back to a GT35R on that one and run only race gas on the street.
I really feel this is a good worthwhile turbo upgrade if I didn't, I wouldn't sell it. I'd promote something else.

Yeah but cams will cost under 1000 installed which is cheaper than the turbo.. and you will have more power with the turbo and cams than the turbo itself.. It's your car tho man do whatever you want
#223
Yea I agree I was thinking of getting an upgraded turbo until I did cams and alky injection and with a good tune I'm more than content with what I have and still had some money left over.
