Until you run more than 23psi and blow those sweet plastic endtanks off of the core and spend an hour on a side road outside of Rock Falls trying to crimp the core tabs back over the tanks....

Never happened. The IC is rock solid. They are a great upgrade for a dsm. I can take pics to prove it (size wise). I have never heard of the IC blowing the tanks off. Doesn't mean it is not a problem, but I have never heard of it. A supra IC is much better than a starion IC, you will not have a 15 year old pile of shit in the front bumper, they are easier to install, and you do not need to modify the piping much to install it. It is pretty much a direct replacement. Make sure you get the supra elbows though as they are better at handling the high pressure.
As far as the turbo goes, I would just upgrade to a 14b. I wouldn't buy a used turbo off ebay anyhow. You have no idea what shape it is in, if the seals are fried, etc. Peter could sell you his 16g locally.
