i have a 16g on my gsx and i have a walbro 255 i need to install. if you get that you need an FPR (fuel pressure regulator), FPR gauge. and if you have a 1g then the turbo will bolt right up, if you have a 2g, then youll need an install kit for it.

The 190 will work fine for the 16g and it will save you the trouble of dealing with fpr. So i would go with that. Unless you really are going to be building this thing up. Then i would suggest the 255 but for the small upgrade i would just get the 190

I agree. I have ben able to run mid 11's on the 190 no problems at all on a big 16g at 22+psi. with a 255 you are going to need a fpr, its going to complicate things and make tuning more difficult when you head down that road. for a simple upgrade id say go with the 190 theyre cheap. and also, you can always to the fuel pump rewire, gives you more voltage which means more flow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
