Where are you located?
We should all get together for a little meet.

I think 20g's are a nice turbo.
I had them on my VR4, pulled really well, especially on race gas at 27psi!
I never got any acceleration times with it but it was pretty quick.
Regarding IAT's with the 20g turbos, on my particular setup, with a big front mount intercooler, I saw maybe 30-40 degrees above ambient on a long 4th gear pull.
(I'll have to take a look back at some logs.)
Obviously, a different platform, but I think they would work fine, as Markski has said.

From the sound of it, there are a few cars here with K24/20Gs that are getting good results.

You were using straight 20gs on your VR4, right? I think the concern is that the 20g compressor wheel is too larger for the K24 housing and generates too much heat. Only had one K24/20G car through EPL though, so we haven't been able to verify that conclusively or not.

I had them made by Forced Performance to fit the headers I had on that car.
I had also heard that the 20g wheel created too much heat, but I never had a problem with it.
I am not familiar with the K24 housing, so there may be something to it on your car.

Modesty among car guys is a rare trait. Especially when it's completely uncalled for because your car is a monster.

Is that complete 20g's system?
