im runnin the stock t25 turbo on my second gen with some mods. im wondering what would be a cheap turbo upgrade(if possible bolt to stock manifold) for now. would the first gen 14b be better? or what turbo would you recomend to get. i dont want insane lag im all about response. thanks

14b is a very smart upgrade. Better turbo all around. You have to get a couple different items to make it work. I think you need a Jpipe since the inlet is different on the 14b VS the T25.

Good luck.

Not much of a difference between a 14b and 16g. If you do the 14b, then you can always upgrade to most anything later, since you will have the lines and everything set up already.

I would go to a 14b because it is cheaper and isn't too much of a difference. I did the swap on my 2g a long time ago. I don't think you will really get a HP increase, but it will hold boost to redline. Btw, the 14b will feel really laggy compared to the t to small the first few times driving it.
