I know the title sounds kind of stupid, but I just installed a big 16g on my car yesterday night and I can't tell any differences between that and the 14b. :barf: I'm fixing to install a boost gauge and a Denzo (sp) fuel pump this weekend. Everything right now is stock on my car, but should I be able to feel any differences in power over the 14b at stock boost levels?? If I should then maybe I do have boost leak problems. Give me some advice guys, thanks.
 
You cant just slap on a bigger turbo and expect to go fast, you need all the supporting mods. With a b16g you are going to need a bigger fuel pump and maybe even a air/fuel controller. I cant believe you dont even have a boost gauge or data logger, they should be your first mods

Hey man, I wasn't just slapping on a bigger turbo to "go fast". My 14b went out on me so I bought a bigger turbo, A Denzo fuel pump, and a boost gauge. I was just asking a simple question, and thank you for the advice. :thumb: Other mods will come when money allows. thanks
 
You won't notice too many differences, if any at all, until you get it tuned. The turbos aren't extremely different in size, so until you get some more fuel mods and a good tune, you won;t notice it too much.
 
i would think you would notice something......little lag also.....getta boost gauge,boost controller,fuel pump and it'll be likea different car :thumb:
 
Don't forget to upgrade the exhaust too, so your turbo can breathe better. :thumb:
