Newbie ForumBeginner/newbie/general DSM questions. first mods, how to run 10's when you haven't run 12's yet, any tech question that doesn't fit in another tech forum. New Members must limit their tech posts to this forum and sub-forums.
it should bolt right up, but considering you can buy a big 16g with no back housing for $375 brand new.(use your 14b exhaust housing), i doubt the performance increase of the evo8 turbo (if any at all) over the big 16 will justify the increase in cost...HERE
I guess the question for us would then be are you doing it to a 1g or 2g?
I know you asked about the bolt up and if it was like the 1g or not, so I am guessing it is a 1g. If not, then you will require a 2g install kit cause YES it does bolt like a 1g setup.
Another thing is Mike at Slowboy is a very helpful person when it comes to DSM questions. If you do indeed have a 2g he can help you figure it out further.

So 14b turbine housing are the same as the stock big 16g turbine housing? should it effect the performance?
Well, i used a 14b housing, ground away the step, ported it, and ported the wastegate a bit.. and i run 20psi with it with no drop at high rpm, so i dont know of any downside to it..
ah thanks alot guys, it was for my futur Eagle talon tsi ( 6 bolt engine) :P... as soon as i will seel this N/T, so yeah it was for a 1g car.
Alright, then the best thing to do if i wanna upgrade my turbo for a Big 16G w/o turbine housing and then swap my turbine housing from the 14B to the new 16G. After that I should port the turbo, and ported the wastegate.
yea, and the porting isnt hard, just get ahold of a die grinder and you can probably do it yourself in about 2 hours or less.
OR if you want to go bigger, all those turbos on that page i left the link to bolt up, they just cost more, Im getting the ETE32 later this year. better quality turbo (Garrett) and higher HP possabilities.. but i might sell the spyder and get a 97-99 GSX first...
