Might want to check at VS; I'd guess a big turbo like that would more likely pop it's head up over there.

yeah! you must do a lot of upgrades/modifications (performance part upgrades) for this setup to work. I've read many articles on upgrade Turbos, and additional Hi-performance upgrades are Required, unless you plan on blowing up your motor.

i agree if u want to put out a lot of power with the best reliability and cheapest way i think that the 18t is the best option .. but im not really an expert

depends which 20g if its the TD04 20g you may find its very aggressive and your engine may not survive as previous posters say the 18G is around the max, now if you change it for the TD05 20g then thats another matter ok its a different turbo and does mean a bit of modifications before fitting as its a larger turbo as is the TD04-20g has a larger casing

I've got a really nice T5 engine after playing with a 20g engine if anyone can weld alloy and or can sand cast as it went bang in a big way so now I'm playing with the TD05 series
