15g's vs Dr-500's....?

what turbo is a better turbo, ik the dr-500 can peak 21lbs and hold 17, but idk what the 15gs can do so if any one knows please help.

IIRC the DR500 is just an improved 13G. The DR650 is more comparable to a 15G.

so based on that the 15g is better than the dr500? do u know what the peak is if the 15g and what the hold to redline is?

Peak is about 23-25 but they hold 20 to redline, more with supporting mods from what I have gathered. Also I have gatehered the DR500's peak about 20psi.

Peak isnt everything though. Effeciency is key.

Yeah, for sure. Analogy time!!

You can shift your car at redline, but it doesn't mean that's where the best place is to shift. Peaks of 20 to 25 is so-so of importance. Compressed air heats and expands, and after a certain point, your turbos will blow excessively hot air, and power loss is the result. Especially if you have some stock SMIC's.

15g all the way. dr500's are 13t's basicly. 15g's have put 500 to the wheels, dr500's are put that way because they are suppost to be 500 crank. The little spool (200rpm) is worth the 15g's.

Whats the difference between 13G and 13T? I have never even heard of 13T until 3 days ago, now they are everywhere?

13T is a WRX housing. Its similar to a 15g

13t spools quicker, 15g holds more boost and flows more CFM's.
