13g to 14b

[speedracer91]

hey it's time to upgrade my turbo. Right now i have a 13g (i drive a 91 TSi AWD auto...) and i'm looking into buying this one 14b. What do i need (if anything) i'm guessing o2 housing....also will the 14b bolt right up to my exh. mani.?
thanks in advance

When I upgraded to a 14B, I got new water/oil lines, 2G exhaust manifold, and a few other mods. I know you need a new manifold.

well i was planning on getting a ss oil line and new water lines....will my o2 housing still work? thanks again

*edit* will the 2g exhaust mani. blot right up to the 14b?

2G exhaust mani is perfect for the 14B. The O2 housing is the same for both turbos IIRC.

You do need new oil and water feed lines, copper crush washers and banjo bolts. The 13G hardware is too small. The water and oil return lines fit just fine, but you'll want a new gasket for the oil return line.

How much boost you plan on running?
Is that 14b new or used?

Is there even such a thing as a new 14b?

I'm pretty sure you can buy one for the dealer for about $1000

It is possible you might need a new J-pipe but I am not sure

The best idea would be to talk to someone that is upgrading their 14B to a T3/T4 or TD06 turbo.

They need new oil and coolant lines, as well as a new J pipe and often, their exhaust manifold gets changed too (if going T3).

I've seen guys sell their good 14B, O2, J, oil and coolant lines for like $200.
