I'm looking for a turbo for my 98, my experience doesn't go beyond the t-25 or 14b, help me out.I don't give a shit about quarter mile times, dyno numbers, racing, etc.I would gladly trade top end flow for quick spool/low end power, mods to this vehicle are for driving enjoyment only.Not much info is geared towards low end power.Any info(beyond the obvious) or experience would be appreciated.I was thinking of upgrading to a 16g and keeping my 6cm turbine housing, any input on this?

16g with a 7cm housing would be fine.

TalonTsidude is selling his big 16g and I think CVD may be getting rid of his small 16g.

Contact QPR. They are thinking about doing a group buy on 16g turbos.

That is true. TalonTsiDude has sold his big 16G already I believe. I will be putting mine up for sale within a week or two.

Another good option for a 2G is the T28. I dont have any experience with those, but I think there are a few on the forum who have them.

From your description I think that the 16G and T28 are the two best options for you.

The downside of a t28 is the $$$$. I am just going 14b myself. I think I heard somewhere that a 16g is better than a t28 on a 2g. Dont have the facts to back it up though.

Enes on the forums has a t28. You can try getting ahold of him and see how he likes it. I think he is pretty satisfied.

Jeremy Brandt ( the gentleman from Des Moines that dynoed 470 on the Green @ Elite) ran a 12.2 on the FP T-28.
If you decide to push forward towards a little more power than the basic 16G area, might be worth it to check out the FP Sleeper 16 Turbo.

I'm told nothin but good things from the T-28. I belive you also don't need new gaskets and lines. Which cuts down on money. The turbo is a little pricy but i it pays for its self in spool up :P.

A 16g is alos a good power adder and i the Big 16g is a little bit more cappable of fast 1/4 miles.

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?

Why would you want to replace the 14b, theres not much more to be gained by getting a 16g. Unless its the big 16 or the sleeper 16.
