Damper Decision - which way to go for turbo?

[brigs]

I've read past posts on this topic and done some research, but before pulling the trigger on one (they're not cheap) I'm looking for some current input. I have a stock balancer on my 2003 turbo car, so I'm looking at the ATI 918036. I wouldn't go OD, but some people said UD is good for a turbo setup, while someone at ATI told me to stick with the stock size (918036). It's a street car, not revving too high or too much/often, and while I heard that UD can free up some power, I would rather have the motor be safer than gain a little power.

What do you guys recommend? I don't know much on this. I've seen that Innovate West also has a good product, and some have mentioned March. Is there anything else I should consider?

Thanks

I would run the 918036 ATI per their recommendation. I’ve used ATI on several engines and they are great.
I can’t comment on anything regarding the turbo situation though.

I have a stock size ati seems to be working perfectly fine

If you're not spinning the engine higher than stock, the OE size is fine. ATI and IW are both great choices and you can't go wrong with either one.

I have an ATI on mine.

I have used this for 15 years and still fine after all these years, well above 4 digit power. And it's only $130

Is the March one stock size? If it's the same size as the ATI918036 then March might be a good option for not paying $350.

March one is smaller, but that's no big deal you just run a smaller belt

I have a March damper if anyone is interested. It literally has 500 miles on it. I can get the part #, just shoot me a PM.
