hey guys...i'm thinking about getting a bigger turbo for my car. i was wondering if anyone had a good used 20g or maybe something smaller at a good price.

All of this is mild compared to some setups.

And in my opinion, if you don't have the money to buy it all at once, buy it one piece at a time and keep it on the shelf until you've got the mods to support it. Don't put it on without the right supporting pieces to back it.

Also 16psi on a 16G is a different cfm than 16psi on a 14B or a T25.
16psi on 14B equals more cfm than 16psi on a T25
16psi on a 16G equals more cfm than 16psi on a 14B
So, don't get the idea that you can slap on a big turbo and turn the boost down temporarily until you get the supporting mods. It doesn't work that way and you're better off just to wait until you can afford the other mods.
