I am looking at a future replacement turbo for an essentially stock car that will be a family car/daily driver.
Considering advice from experienced veterans, logical progression and value for money, I am inclined to just go the tried and tested route on this one and get an EVO III 16G. I did however stumble upon this: -
FP DSM Big 28
Is this a revamp of the old 'disco potato' turbo? It is over $230 more than an EVO III so I know what most of you will say ... "just get the EVO III and be done with it!"
I'm just curious because I don't want or need loads of horsepower on this car. I have already started a thread on clutches and the posts in there suggest the EVO III will require a much beefier clutch if the boost is turned up and for a daily driver I really don't want to go down that road.
I am just wondering what sort of power this is rated at, given it hits full boost at 3000 rpms!
Also what is the deal with that 90 degree elbow, is that the routing for a SMIC on a stock 2G DSM?
