Big 16g is in..kind of...

I have virtually no experience with cars ...other than my intake etc..and man installing this thing was alot harder than i thought it would be. Of course when everything was coming together and i have to go and break a turbo-manifold bolt...damn! Then i decided just to put it together and see if it would run. On top of everything else i "trimmed" the wrong part of the passenger side fan, twice! I ended up having to switch the metal to the poassenger side and the plastic one to the drivers side...i guess i'll buy a new fan soon. Everything ran ok, until i heard hissing from right around the turbo, which im assuming is because there are only three bolts...d'oh! THEN another clanking sound let me know that my thrust bearing is going up, greeeeat! So i guess i have to drain everything and take it apart again.. . Instead of a downpipe and fuel pump i guess it's time for a new clutch and radiator fan, . I hope this thing makes a power difference when i can finally drive it!!

If I may ask why did you buy the 16G w/o any fuel mods? I am assuming your T-25 went out. If not why may I ask did you decide to go that route?..Later Corey

My t-25 is in great condition actually, i just wanted to get the turbo upgarde outta the way. Don't get me wrong i know i cant just crank the boost and go faster, i only plan on running about 13 psi until i get a dp and fp ..then maybe 15. I just got done driving it, and everything is great, no more hissing sound! Except, my battery is toast. I jumped it to get it runnin and after a 10 min drive the battery hadnt gained jack. Is a 16g supposed to sound a little different than a t-25? It almost sounds like a turbo mixed with a supercharger...its a cool sound, i just hope it's normal...
