See if you used a big turbo 95tsi, your torque wouldn't be higher than your wheel horse power more than likely.

Torque make wheels happy, torque pulls you like train through corner.

^^^ Most people don't care if their HP is greater than tourque. My tourque is higher and has only created issues on the road course.

I have a 14b with the internal wastegate taken out and a stainless 02 housing setup with a 38mm tial style wastegate off of the stock 02 and is recirculated back in the exhaust. All bolts up stock to the downpipe and manifold. Everything is new and turbo has been refinished with no shaft play.

would you seperate the o2 and wastegate from the turbo?

Sure I will seperate, send me a PM. Also whatever turbo you go with make sure you know its history (if it was rebuilt or peiced together) and who actually did the entire rebuild if it was rebuilt. Some people claim to have rebuilt turbos or say they know how to but actually dont last worth a shit. No sence in saving just a few bucks to run into the hassle of having to take it back off to have rebuilt or replaced a few hundred miles down the road.

pm sent. I completely agree with the whole rebuilding thing wich is what I'm kind of worried about but no matter what i'm gona do i'm going to bring it in and at least have it checked out and make sure it's in ok condition.

i know this thread is a little old, and i've done some searching, but bottomline, I'm looking at these turbos for the build im gonna do over these next few winter months... What's your opinions

FP Big T28 vs. Evo III Big 16G (maybe FP sleeper 16G) vs. FP 68HTA?

As far as I know, it seems as though the Evo 16G seems to be the best overall street turbo/best bang for the buck.

My hopes are to make close to 400hp this coming spring...
