hey i'm gonna buy a new turbo to replace my crappy t25, and i am not sure but bullseye power has some really good deals with the bolt on turbo's and i really like the sound of the v trim but i'm not sure if that is too much for me, maybe i should go for a 16g or something, help me out here is a list of my mods, the only things i am missing from the "upgrade path" are o2 housing, and a fuel pump, which iknow i'm gonna need but first i want to find out what size turbo i'm gonna need, and stuff like taht so help me out guys. i have also been a fan of the big 16g but idont hear good things about the evo 3 gt so yeah lemme know.

engine internals:
greddy type s bov
huge universal FMIC
all the piping top and bottom
injen intake
no name filter
ported manifold

supporting
3 inch n1 dp cat eliminator
3 inch n1 catback
avcr
safc 2

the only things i am missing from the "upgrade path" are o2 housing, and a fuel pump, which iknow i'm gonna need but first i want to find out if i need

Indeed the EVO III "GT" 16G's are made in China and NOT made by MHI. And what size injectors do you have?

**fisticuffswaat** · March 12th, 2006, 09:37 AM

all i have is the stock 450's

**Shane916** · March 12th, 2006, 11:09 AM

you will definately want to consider some 650's+

I just bought my TO4B V-Trim and installed it last week. I have a damn boost leak so I can't run higher than 12 psi. But the turbo pulls hard considering such low boost. I'm happy so far but can't wait until I leak test my piping and can turn the boost up to 19-20lbs.

I have all the supporting mods. You will def need bigger injectors. I have 680s right now.

ive heard some really bad stuff about the V Trim... dont know if its true or not but i would steer clear. plenty of other turbos out there... like the FP3055 or 3065 :):)

That's weird because when I did my researching on the turbo I heard nothing but good.

see the only bad stuff i heard was with the evo III, and i really like that bolt up thing that bullseye does with the turbos so that i dont have to do j pipe or anything cause i have the custom piping so i would need to cut then weld another piece, or i mean have the guy that did my piping do that. so it sounds like all i need is bigger injectors and then i would be able to run the turbo safely?

after seeing how FP did the turbo i got from them, i would recommend them to anyone. Direct bolt up to the manifold, wastegate right off the turbo, everything they stand for is great. They also have very good prices on all their items (except the O2 housing which you can only get from them). I know its all personal choice but Forced Performace does a great job! :)
