upgrading the turbo?

Also, replacing you're 6cm turbine housing on a 14b with a 7cm will show you little to no results in improvement. Most people keep it the way it is to keep the spool of the 6cm. There are minimal to no gains in switching.

You have to plan for the future and when someone like myself would practically be giving away a 7cm housing, beer trade then why not since everyone knows that at some point you will wan't more power and it is only a matter of time before you get a bigger turbo. And yeah the 14b made it a year, was it only used for the drag strip? Try dailydriving a 14b at 22psi and lets see if it makes it a year. And even if it's a 7cm housing you still want to port the flapper, especially if your running 22psi.

No, it was definetly my DD haha.. I wasnt trying to be a dick or anything either man. I was just saying. He seems like a n00b so I thought I would give him some good advice. I've been doing these cars for about 6 years now. I kinda know some things too amigo ;)

Ask Tachyon about running 14b's hard. He like to put them on high compression 2.3's and 2.4's and run as much boost as he can on them.

What is wrong with the headgasket? I always recommend getting a vehicle to 100% prior to modifications.

thats my whole plan, i want to get everything to 100%. i had a lot of oil all throughout the lower engine compartment on everything so i cleaned it all off and i was just going to get new gaskets all around to make sure there were no leaks. im also a believer in getting everything to 100% before i worry about after market stuff.

does anyone know of any good gasket kits for a 97 gst? also a turbo rebuild kit. im thinking about holding onto it for now till i get everything else prepped for a bigger turbo.

And the OEM headgasket will do you just fine. Pick up some ARP's while you're at it.
