First off, what are you expecting out of your car? What is your HP expectation? Go from there.

To answer your question, yes, an Evo 16g (why get the other variants when this one costs the same and is better?) is a great street and streetable turbo. I recommend perhaps a 50 trim type turbo or larger since your FWD. Don't forget about fuel upgrades, logger, and tuning device of some sort too.

honestly 400-500hp is way to much for a FWD car. I would stick with 16g and looking for something in the 300-350hp range. That will be plenty of power to get you into the 12's

Agreed, especially if "streetability" is key.

You can run 12's or betterw/ the 16g I wouldn't waste the money "building" an engine. Stock will hold up fine.

well if you really want to go all out on the car and try to get below the 12's in the FWD car then you will need slicks on the front and also LSD for the tranny.
