Question Tiny turbo upgrade, 16G or billet?

I know it might be a not too good question, as 2 turbos involved many tuners actually. I saw a thread someone wanted to upgrade his 16G to billet but ppls stopped him. But since, anyone did compare on them? Some said billet requires good fueling to have nice gain..isn't it? Thanks guys.

Seems like the 16G is the next step beyond flash/exhaust combo and billet stretch power beyond the 16G with supporting mods. Seen some impressive numbers from the tuners on this board and each have their own secret sauce. They will both require a clutch replacement so factor this into your timing. And if your doing the clutch (engine out) you should also get water lines pinned or welded... Slippery slope!
