20g turbo Options

[SPOOLED91]

i would like to know if anyone is running a 20g. i am thinking of doing the evo16g but i am going to build a motor and i don't wanna spend money on a bigger turbo later on in the project. what i am looking for is about 400hp when i'm all done. I know it's not going to take much considering the numbers i've seen from some of the other guys on here but it's a good goal for me. so all i am wanting to know is if the 20g is going to be a better choice insted of the evo. i just don't wanna over work the turbo and have it crap out on me in a year. if the evo can take the abuse then that is fine be i don't wanna have to struggle to squeeze the last bit of power out of it to reach my goal.

thanks tyler

Just remember the 20g requires full fuel system upgrades, a MAS upgrade, a full 3" exhaust (or at least a 2.5" dp with a 3" cat-back), larger ic piping, a fully ported 2G exman, and a larger or extremely hogged out O2 housing. A fmic would be a good idea as well so the stock sidemount doesn't choke the turbo.

A 16g requires none of this, but its all good ideas for engine safety and performance anyway.

A 20g flows quite a bit more air than a 16g.

Here's a good comparison of older Mitsu turbos. (The evoIII 16g isn't on here):
