The 16g is another tiny turbo. An 18g is the absolutely smallest turbo I would look at if I was to get back into the Subaru game again with a WRX or STi. Looking back it always surprised me how much money people wasted on aftermarket turbos turbo swaps, supporting mods and dyno tunes (myself included on my first WRX) when the power output the turbo and fuel system were capable of always maxed at like 300whp at most. I got bored of 300whp within like 2 weeks, so I sold my WRX, bought the STi and went from there [8D]

A guy that comes to the Subaru meets did a turbo swap on his '07 WRX. I want to say the turbo is a 16g. He also has a FMIC, intake, exhaust, external wastegate and dyno tune. It's an auto and it made 300 awhp. I thought it would have done better. I haven't rode in the car, but a friend of mine did and he says it's no faster than his stage 2 STI.
I think you have this one. He may get you off the line, but my money is still on you.
