They're a good turbo. Fill out your sig and tell us what you want to do with it and we'll recommend a size.

I'm curious as well. I want something close to stock size but with better flow. How loud is the whistle on these with the 57mm wheel?

^^^^
RichieO has one (57/65/14 aka s300g) on his '89.


I've never ran mine as a single, but it and the s475 sound nice together.

I went from an hx35w to an s300g and there was almost no difference, If you get an s300 make sure it is not the s300g there are no up grades for it, the regular s300 has a truck load of options,I just my 2cense. For a twin set up it is suppose to be better because the compressor side journel housing, is smaller which suppose to make it spool quicker in this setup.....I heard
