Shell out the money now, Make sure you are getting a quality part. Buy something that works first you buy something shitty you risk running repairs which will cost a lot more than that turbo.

No traction over 300whp?Originally posted by h22sparkleif your boostin the f22 just get a big 16g turbo thats all and connect it to the dsm manifold those turboes are good up to 380whp if you need more than that than have fun having no traction above 300whp.
That's kinda funny, since I only experience torque steer if anything with my 300whp+ setup.

x2Originally posted by KillerCam282I know why I have the torque steer. I am saying because you break 300whp, doesn't mean you will have no traction.
and for the gas question, with turbo just play it safe and put in the highest grade at the pump. Depends on where you go, i usually put 93 in it.My baby laying down some power...
