Hey guys, I have a 1997 GST and I was thinking about upgrading my stock turbo. I have heard of a t28 and a 16g fitting in dsms. What would I need for a 16g upgrade?
 
Here is a good write-up on the procedure so you have an idea of what your in for:

The install kits have changed since the publishing of the guide, but the procedure is the same.

Please make use of the search feature on this site as this is an extremely common topic.
 
You gotta search man there is ton of info about your questions. Stock internals are fine for 16g. Just make sure you do compression test and leak down test to verify your motors health. The rest will come down to tuning. Head studs is a must for high psi if not you will blow head gasket.
 
You really need to do some research on these turbos, all the information is out there and all the questions have been asked.. the t-25 was the smallest dsm turbo that I'm aware of that was offered. then the 13g. then the 14b, followed by the t-28, and then larger then that are the 16g variants. the 13g, 14b, and all 16gs need the 16g style install kit to work however because they use a j-pipe instead of a downfiring compressor housing.
 
Ok so I'll stick with a 16g kit, and just one more question. Will I need a maft?

Here is another link you can do some research on "more current" tuning options:

Again, the search feature is very helpful.

When searching, you will likely find the 2g consensus for tuning are:
