Re: 16g Turbo Questions
Well here is a good page that goes through all the differances between them.
http://www.roadraceengineering.com/eclturbos.htm In my opinion the MHI EVO III 16G is the best, but it really depends on what your horsepower goals are.

Re: 16g Turbo Questions
EvoIII 16G is the best bang for your buck, or best "potential" for your buck in your case. It's a sweet turbo, and isn't much more than the other 16g's (if you buy all new).

Re: 16g Turbo Questions
Just dont get an eBay Evo III 16g and you should be fine. Get it from a reputable shop and you will be good.
I guess I too would say get an MHI Evo III 16g. As far as boost pressure goes, it all depends on your setup. If you are on stock fuel system and intercooling, I wouldnt run more than like 12 pounds. Get an adaquate fuel system and some decent intercooling and like 18 psi should be a good street boost pressure.

Re: 16g Turbo Questions
I would, yes. Dont forget fuel control and data logging. A turbo should be one of the last mods you do, otherwise you risk major problems. DSMlink is far superior to a SAFC + pocket logger combo, but the SAFC + pocketlogger is cheaper. One of those, a 190, and 650cc injectors (just to be safe) is what I would do for running a 16g. Also, a 3" exhaust, boost guage, and a boost controller are things you should do before you worry about slapping a turbo on. Where not entirely needed, a FMIC is another thing I would recommend before you do the work of tuning the car with the 16g.
