91 Talon TSi AWD Turbo Question, HELP!

[BoostedZ24]

Alright, I was planning on selling my 91 Talon TSi AWD due to the Turbo begining to go bad.. and the more I drive it, I think to my self that i'm an idiot because it drives so good and still has low miles and everything else on the car is either new due to me replacing it, or in good condition.

I need to know what would be my cheepst, yet safest bet in reguards to replacing my turbo. Should I rebuild it? change it? What? Trying to get an idea how much it'll cost me. I live in Southern California, and I know turbontics and some other big companies are only a few mins away from me. Please let me know. I was told by others in the forum that I can use either a 14g or a 16g on my car, if thats correct please confirm that. I don't normaly work on Talons, I mainly work on my Z-24 (Chevy) so this is all a new field, thanks guys!!!!

If you are 100% sure it is your turbo going bad then replace it. Just dont waste your money like I've seen some people do, and yes you can buy a 14b or 16g and bolt it right up. Easy fix hombre. Check out some of our sponsors for prices on turbos, they have some killer deals going right about now.

A man Take your intake to the turbo off and stick your finger inside the compressor to see if any shaft play occurs to be sure of a bad turbo

You can get a 16G for about 500 bucks bolt it up and go. you should be able to run a small 16g without any fuel mods.

Alright, thanks! Now would a 16g (small turbo) be a downgrade, or an improvement compared to the stocvk turbo unit? Also, any links to where I can find a decent one cheeply? i'm really low on cash and I don't know anyone around here to help me install it, so I have to take it to a shop as it is. I'd really be thankful!

16g is a larger turbo then a 14b. Its up to you where you buy it from.
