Mitsu turbo ???
im a strong pte fan boy.....but the new borg and warners are definately something special....i would never of used bw before as i dont believe in journal bearing turbos but to each is there own. its nie they have finally upgraded to dual ceramic ball bearing
the s20g is a downgrade over the k04 and mexi loco is right it WONT bolt up to the stock mani.....so its your going to have issues later down the road and have to have a manifold build and the amount of money your going to spend in getting mani made or buying one from the vendors and that old tech turbo you can buy a really nice turbo for 500-800 more. remember you get what u pay for

hes full of crap. mine goes forever lol. thats how you can tell weather or not you have a nice ball bearing turbo or a journal bearing. pop the hood and listen to it go lol.
mitsu turbos are great regardless what the others say, they dont blow up left and right, but they are right they are old tech. id recommend u dont do used and u do get an efr turbo

based off a lot of peoples talons and stuff in my area that come out on cruises and crap with us and one of my best friends s16g talon that had nothing but issues with this turbo..... the dsm motors are solid as can be....turbos arent a bad platform just arent up to par with newer stuff imo..... i dont pull anything out of my ass.

He will make a good choice.
I haven't made up my mind just yet. Only reason 20g turbo is in the pic cuz one of dudes out here I hang with knows a lot about DSM's, so hes tellin me to go that way and u guys r tellin me to go the other lol
To me, a turbo is a turbo. If this was a car I planned on keeping forever I would get the EFR no doubt. But I dont plan on having this much longer, maybe 5 years. Once a kid is in the question Im gonna need to upgrade to a 4-door. So probably a diesel will be the next project!

then just keep the stocker on there? i mean for 5 years of use an efr is perfectly fine if you ask me and wont be a waste of money.
sorry man but the fact that you think a turbos a turbo is totally wrong.

Idk, for what I want out of this engine, either turbo will get me there. So I just dont see y paying another $600 would be worth it, for another turbo.
Im looking at the EFR now, talkin to TTR bout it. Ill know by the end of the week if Im gonna get it.
