I have become aware of the EVO turbo the 16G but its small and most turbo i search online are smaller..im looking for a fairly large turbo than will either bolt on directly or i guess fit with modifications. Just looking for input and facts. thanks guys

boy do you have alot to learn.
to answer your questions, yes any turbo can be used on any car, what makes different turbos better for some cars are :
engine size
power goals
engine strength
preference
and hardware to install.

the 240 guys use T-2s and T-3s alot becuase there are alot of parts on the market to bolt these turbos to our cars.. you have to keep in mind, flanges. everytubo doesn't have the same type of flange, so you may buy a turbo and find out that you cant find a Downpipe that bolts up to it, or find a manifold for your car that bolts up to it, but with that said, you can pretty much buy any flange and make your own DP, or maifold...

do some research bro.. i just tried to answer your question asked in this thread.

well turbos use the exhaust stream gases that go into the turbine then through the compressor which is then compacted and heated then sent to the intercooler to be cooled. after that into the intake manifold down the runners.. thats pretty much the simplest i can say correct me if im wrong anyone :biggrin:

Evo 16g's will slam your neck back more than any other junk 50 trim out on the market. Joe Bucci's laser got into the 9's with it, many dsms achieves 11's no problem with it. Quick spooling reliable turbo. Go for it.

read about turbo's and turbo applications for at least 6 months before you even think about putting one on your car. make sure you learn about fueling and tuning also.

START SEARCHING and get familiar before you put a turbo on it.

If this is for a KA, you need a T3/T04E 50 trim .63AR. The KA's turbo of choice. Responsive and good for anywhere inbetween 280 to 400hp+
