I heard that the 50 trim is better than a 16g is it true?

the T3\T4 is usually better, i would talk with tearstone about this turbo I am pretty sure he is running it or has.

Of course any 50 Trim would be better than a 16G. THe 16G is the basic beginner turbo upgrade. What 50 are you looking at?

The t3/t4 style turbo is a dual ball bearing turbo(unless other wise noted)... so it will give you a faster spool, where the 16g is not.
I think what your really looking for is what would be the best setup turbo wise... if that is the case I would suggest calling up sbr and talk to a tech about what your running now and your goals hp wise and see what setup would suit you best. Or i may be wrong and your just looking for simple facts about the turbos which in that case the statment above is all that i have to offer besieds other baskic stuff like different flanges.

You can't just pick a turbo out of the blue and ask how good it is. Turbos have to be properly sized for your application, displacement and boost requirements.

I have tried to stress that point....but hey.....thats why I keep telling you guys take time to learn how to read and compare compressor maps. You do that and then you will be able to pick a nice turbo for your setup and or potential goal.
