turbo for ej257

I am looking for a turbo for the ej25 and was wondering what you guys thought are good applications for an affordable price? meaning I can't afford the rotated kits and I would also like to stick with the stock sti tmic too. I am only looking for about 350 whp for now as this is my daily driver and need the reliability.

 

18g will definitely suit your goals. 16g might be a little small, but would probably spool a tad faster. though i think with the 16g you might lose some top end.

so 18g

 

thanks, that's what I was thinking. I want one as pretty as Techlord's:jerk:

 

Yeah but you can get a cheeeeepie from FP for almost half the price.

 

didn't they screw you up on the last turbo?

do you have a link? Im not having any luck

 

I would get a 20G for the 2.5. You can usually find used ones pretty cheap and the lag is not very noticeable at all. Just think of it as foreplay.

 

FP Green on a 2.5 should be just as streetable as the VF39 albeit with much more power on tap throughout the entire rev range. 18Gs are tricky on 2.5s, some creep and surge like a mofo, some work well with insta-torque. If you go 18G at least get the 8cm hot side or you'll hate the top end.

 

20g at a minimum and consider buying a used one as well.

 

+11ty FP 20G FTW

20G or you are a pussy.

 

Thanks guys. I'm not too active on Nasioc but if anyone sees one can you let me know? Thanks for the help

 

How do you guys feel about ebay turbos? Have you ever heard of exoticspeed turbos? They have a 2 year warranty...
