Quick-spooling aftermarket turbo

What aftermarket turbo for the 2.0 powerplant spools up the fastest? I'm interested in more top-end power vs. the stock turbo, but I'd like to minimize the spool penalty as much as possible.

For top end and quick spool up, I'd recommend the VF30/34 turbos. There are a couple of VF series turbos that will spool faster, but they won't hold the top end the way the 30/34 will.

I would go with some sort of 16G either forced performance or deadbolt. I have a VF30 on my car and wish that one of the 16gs was available when I purchsed it.

I had a 16g turbo on my old DSM and it was a great turbo!

If you have money to spend, I'd say get an APS SR40 and an APS FMIC. I've driven a 03 WRX with this combo and it KNOCKED ME OUT -- 315 WHP on 91 pump gas and torque from 2400 RPMs on. The combo will set you back $3600, however... Endless pull all the way to 6600 RPM, absolutely no lag.

There 16G is the same as FP, and more than likely Deadbolt, and they do have a 1 yr. warranty. These can be up-graded to an 18G later on, if you want.
