Not Another Turbo Question

[AJ]

With the 16G you will need an install kit and if it's not gonan be the drag car I say intstall kit and a 14B. A few guys with 2Gs have done this and it's a big improvement over the T25.

Otherwise get a T28 if you go new. YOu can send your core in and get a T28 for 700ish or maybe a bit more. For a 16G you will spend minimum $500 on the turbo and $200 ish on the install kit. This is if you go new in all areas.

We can help ya out or give Elite a buzz and see what they can do as well. But I'd have to suggest going the 14B used for $150ish and an install kit.

Contact QPR.* They are thinking about doing a group buy on 16g turbos.
That post led me to post this.BTW I already have a 14b on there, so a mitsu(or similar install wise) turbo would be an easy install.What about a 16g with my 6cm off my 14b, any experience with this? [/b][/quote]
Since I went from a 14B to a 20G, I missed out on all the 16G hoopla. If you want cheap, like under $500, get a 16G. If you have a specific goal in mind, have Shane whip you up a mac daddy PTE turbo with wheels and housings to meet your needs. Personally I wouldn't bother with a 16G, but that's just me. ;)

Yea me either, a 16g is not a big step up at all from a 14b. if your going to upgrade and you have all the basic mods like a FMIC and some fuel mods Id go for something bigger than a 16, but then you want spool up so...

I just wouldnt advize going from a 14b to a 16g. Although they are dirt cheap now.

I already have a 14b in, and I'm not too impressed, I'm still running stock boost levels though

Evo 16g sounds good to me, i mean it would be cheaper than going a 18g (crap) or a 20g.

evo B16g gets my vote.

Whats the lag on the evo16g's like?

I personally have never owned or drvin in a car with one. There is lag i bet just not much compared to like a 20g or whatever. Personally i think it would be a great daily driver and if i was in your shoes i would go with the Evo B16g.

Just my 2 psi but i would get the opinon of someone with it on there car or has had it.

[Dutch_DSM]

I've installed a evo 16g with the evo o2 housing on my 2G.

compared to the t25 it was a huge difference.
Lag is just a bit more but I must add I also installed a supra mk4 IC and all 2,5" IC piping

The biggest difference I noticed it holds boost all the way upto the redline (even when running 20 psi)

[JET]

The EVO 16g is a big 16g with slightly thinner blades and a different turbine housing (and it is lighter). Basically a B16g that weighs 6 lbs less and will flow better on the exhaust side. I would guess just a hair more lag than a B16g, but not much. It would also get my vote for turbo of choice in your situation.

[MustGoFaster]

Well here's a break down of the a few to the turbo's mentioned:

14B 33lbs/min
16G 36lbs/min
B16G 38lbs/min
Evo16G 42lbs/min (not 100% sure but the guy from AGP posted this on GVR4.org, I can't find right now though. Also AJ has said FP would rebuild a dead 16G to flow what an 18G flows, 18G's flow 41 or 42 lbs/min. Just adding some speculation.)
