He reackons with the 18g it will be around 550cfm which is quite a lot more than VF36(which is 460cfm). I am yet to decide which one to go with 16g or 18g. Not much difference in both, maybe about 30cfm.
My goal is 223kw (300hp) at the wheel. This turbo should do it, but what mods do I need to do?
1) Trubosmart FPR800?
2) I am still on stock intercooler, thinking of either avo or process west, suggestions?
Will be getting the avo induction pipe and the maf pipe to fit the turbo inlet which will now be 3".
18g is a lag train on the 2L engines... sure it might make the peak power but your sacrifficing a LOT under 4000rpm to make 300whp
