If you're going to be putting it on a stock KA, the 20G is a bit much. You can use it, but it's way too much turbo to fully utilize until you build the bottom end. It will also be fairly laggy, and not the most ideal setup. It's also real old turbo tech, so there are a lot of similar sized turbos out there that are much more efficient.

If i remember correctly, the Greddy Bolt on Turbo Kit uses a 20g. But i agree with 2_liter_turbo, its a little unnecessary unless your motor is built. you could go a little smaller and get decent boost before the 3k rpm range.

I believe you're correct about the greddy kit, but I still believe it's a little big for a stock KA. lol

ok im doing a bone budget ka-t build and found a decent turbo kit off ebay for pretty cheap everything seems to be there and worse comes to worse ill upgrade as i go just want alil starter kit so now im looking into tuning my friend showed me the apexi neo does anyone have any experience with them and i heard you can save tunes to a sd card or memory card and just swap tunes im thinking of having a high boost (15psi) on 100 octane gas with lots of ignition retard would that be a time bomb waiting to explode or should i stick in between 8-10 psi on 93 octane?
