    TME 16G ... same as the normal big 16g except it uses titanium-aluminide wheel which theoretically allows it to spool 33% faster. It also uses the 10.5cm^2 hot-side instead ot the 9.8cm^2. The "TME" just refers to the titanium-aluminide wheel in the 16g or 20g allowing faster spool... not really worth the money if you ask me.

    Yeah that's what I was wondering. I knew I had the titanium wheel but I wondered what it did, durability or power. Yeah I'm not getting one....I was just looking at what made them special.

    the 16g spools fast enough as it is, and 20g are great if you don't want to spend a lot of money, but there are better BB turbos that put out comparative power and faster spool times.

    The "TME" refers to Tommi Mäkinen Edition:
