i dont understand how you can say anything like that??? ^^^^ If we are still on the subject of a 16g running 12's than yha I agree with Junius, the reason being, I DO know that a 16g can run 12's but the fact of the matter is, why would I use a 16g when I can use ANOTHER BIGGER turbo to run the same, or even Faster with less boost???? I really dont see the point. I would rather be able to say that I hit 12's with 15 psi, rather than saying I ran 12's with 21 etc......
Yeah I guess if you want to just throw money at the problem instead of learning what the hell you are doing you are absolutely right. And once again, it is far more pimpin' to say that you have 35R powered car than a 16g, but when you get out there and run 12s on 35R people WILL laugh at you. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

It is for the education and experiance, something most new car people lack quite a bit of these days. Ever notice how all the DSM guys going really fast seem to start on 16G cars and work up to large turbos. They use the small turbo to get tuning experiance, laucnhing exparince, and so on. Everyone wants to start at the top without going through the paces and it shows.
Just like most they think (key word) that a big turbo equals a fast car. It doesn't and never will. As I said in my other debate with Uncle Ben if he or anyone else want to go out and run horrible times with large turbos then go right ahead, no one here is going to stop him. People will laugh at GT40 car knocking down a blistering 12 second pass but he doesn't seem to care so go for it.
This is exactly right. I'm so glad I modded my car the way I did, and do not regret for a minute not going "big turbo" like the cool kids. In fact, at first the objective was 12s on the stocker 14b with all the other boltons, but the stock turbo died at 165,000 miles after I did my fuel mods and turned up the boost to 17psi. When the stocker died, I got my 16g, and let me tell you, this turbo packs a punch. If you need proof then click here. click
