    Whats a big 16g versus a small 16g ? I assume the small one spools faster but has less top end power?

    Big 16G has bigger internals than a regular 16G.

    the compressor section is larger, and therefore flows more. bigger compressor wheel will take more energy to spool up

    Iirc it is the compressor side from an 18g in there. The idea is you get ~18g flow at ~16g spool but you actually wind up with a little less than 18g flow and slightly longer than 16g spool. Ha, basically a 17g

    Thanks.. I'll think of it as a 17g. And I guess the super or evoiii 16g is a 17.5g.

    I found the table that I really wanted to see
