16g compressor housing on a 14b REVIEW

[123abc]

I already have a 16g wheel I could put on here if I wanted to go that route. But I don't plan on it. Yeah the gap is pretty much as big as it looks and yeah my boost controller is cranked down pretty good to achieve the boost level I'm at. I'm just gonna try and hit 25psi with it, tune it, and then probably put the 14b compressor housing back on.

I don't think that turbo would last long spinning that fast. I had entertained the thought of doing that and I believe I even posted it here. Obviously I decided against it, I'm going to try my luck with a chine e3 16g.


Do post up a video though. :)

+1 on the turbo working its nuts off to create boost! I hope it doesn't grenade on you. Cool that when the bearings start to go it can be extra super sloppy shaft play and not ding up the compressor fins :D

yeah, way to totally mess up the design of the turbo. :)

Haha, if you wanted lag, just get a 50 trim or something?

Exactly! lol

I put up a WTB add for a turbo and noone really had anything good. I was really interested in the frank4 that was for sale but Mark picked that up. So then I just got a stock turbo and used the rest of the money to buy ecmlink!

I have an 18g CHRA with no wheel laying around, but i'm still holding onto that baby for a future "Project" and a rebuild. 20g on a FWD is a nice combo, got to ride in one up north a while back, the lag although not bad, is enough to give your tires a chance to hook up. After boost though, it's up in the air.

Yeah traction is always gonna be a problem.. That's why I put 18's on the car! (sarcasm)

Jeez. At least put the 14b compressor cover back on.

[4g63tcrazy]

If you read my posts above I plan to put it back on. But why not be the ginnie pig and do a review for the people who are wondering?

Put a 20g cover on it and see if it makes any boost at all, lol.
