If you think a 60-1 has no lag, you should feel a 16 or 20G.

It gets better then that?

There is no way a 60-1 spools as quick or quicker than a 16G/20G.
Not trying to argue.. just stating how my car preforms.. Maybe its from my EL mani? Or 3" turbo back...
Not a turbo expert. But i know my evo III 16g about the same on my eclipse GSX

To the OP the GT35R I have with smaller housings is pimp! Great spool up and still have the potential for mid 500's.

Do you have a dyno sheet?

Only back when I had the 16G on 7psi of boost. Ironically, the other turbos out there made similar power at the same PSI level. You would have to really get a big turbo to see differences in hp at same boost levels.
16G on 7lbs put down 250whp/260wtq for me back then. If you take a look at some of these other dyno sheets, of cars with similar mods, but the turbo kit was different, they were putting down same power. Like the 57trim on my friends tC dynoed at the same dyno place I did and put down 248ishwhp on 7-8psi. So roughly the same power and boost.
It all boils down to picking a turbo that is within it's efficiency range to be the most effective. And it also depends on whether or not you want the most out of a "Street" car, or the most out of a car your taking to the track.
For the a "street" car I want a turbo that spools fast. For a track car (1/4 mile track), I would still want something that spools fast....BUT I will take a larger turbo as long as I have 2-step to build boost coming off the line.
And of course, Time Attack/Road Race will also have a different turbo that would be beneficial to that environment.
