Is the manifold on the quest steel or cast iron? If it is cast steel it wouldn't be a problem, if it is cast iron I can weld it, but there won't be any guarantees. It likes to crack near the weld on cast iron, especially when heated and cooled a lot. It wouldn't be very expensive. I don't do turbo rebuilds, there is a place on the SW side of the cities that does. It is a diesel shop I think.

Isn't the 17c a mitsu turbo? It uses an 8cm exhaust housing if I remember right and a TD06 compressor side. Flow should be ~10% more than a 16g (similar to a B16g).

Unfortunately it's made of cast iron :(

I believe this model of 17c has the td05 also, and although it's a mitsu turbo it comes off a cyclone/typhoon.

Well, the weld "should" hold for quite a while, but I like to under-promise and over-deliver. I will probaly V-notch the weld to give it more surface to grab onto. Cast iron has a lot of impurities in it too, so it likes to cause porosity in the weld. It may not look quite as pretty as normal.

Is there a reason why you wouldn't just get a B16g? I am guessing price, but I have seen them pretty cheap since can get a new one for like $535.

Well the 17c was my 'dream' turbo, in terms of moderate size combined with fast spool. I wasn't intending huge boost, just something in the middle i guess.

But yeah, a S16g is a better choice in this case i believe, and even saying that, I don't know if im going to keep my car so i probably shouldn't start another stage of modding.

JET, I PMd you a while ago about some porting on a 14b and o2 housing but haven't heard back. I'm still interested if you have the time, PM me or call my cell, the number is in my PM to you. -blake

get the super16g pile of crap out of here

17c? S16G? Is this 1999? Those turbos are terrible.

...I do hope you're kidding.

Not all of us want HUGE drag set-ups on our cars. These "small, outdated" turbos are perfect for a lot of people.

What they are saying is that there are much more efficient smaller turbo's out there. Like a Evo 16g or B16g.

Alright, now back on topic or make another thread!

i was wondering how much it would be to port and poslid a head, intake, and also if you can bore out an engine block to a .30 over? pm me back

Can you make a 2G MAS to cone filter adaptor? I see Extreme Motorsports makes one but $60 bucks seems a little on the high end.

I think they go for like $15 online and at shops besides Extreme.
