its not really super cheap, thats a great price for it. How can it be weak when a 16g is a 16g is a 16g. Those 16g's are all mitsu TD05 turbos. Its not like they were produced by a generic company.

what makes it weak? your car is mass produced.. does that make it weak?

the 16g turbocharger is a great little unit that provides adequate boost and response at a reasonable price. Yes it is a mass produced product made by Mitsubishi; but so is your car and therefore it has no more inherent faults than your car does.

:oops: I am just saying that compared to some of the top of the line turbos that are not as common and that are for more strip than street use, that is where the price difference is.
Didn't mean "weak" to the point that it doesn't work or that is junk. It is not junk at all.

if I knew how to attach an image, I'd post my old dyno sheet. 303fwhp 305 fwtq with big 16g and 21 psi way too rich.

I figured out my tuning and made more a lot power on the ass dyno...

yes, you can pay more for a turbo but I have no problem beating most cars with my little, inexpensive 16g and a 2gal container of C16 in the back seat at all times. mixes well with 4-7 gallons of pump 91 and when applied correctly, is a powerful ointment for most challengers.

but yeah, If I was trying to be Mr. Crazy-Go-Nuts, then I'd go with a FP3065.. sweet-ass turbo that makes tons of power at a relatively low RPM... only costs 3x as much when all is said and done.[/img]
