I recently put a 3" o2 eliminator DP and 3" from there back. No cat, no muffler, no restriction!!! It sounds great and preforms great don't get me wrong but it does boost creep like crazy! If I would of done my research before buying the biggest baddest pipe I could find I would have read a million times that my particular set up would lead to creep. Well, I figured it out the hard way and now I'm afraid I'm gonna blow it up someday I'm not paying attention. I don't wanna go with an EWG setup nor do I want to take my 14b apart and not be able to put it back together til the porting is done. So I have an Ebay 16g turbo sitting in my garage and since I know its never going to be good for its intended purpose, I'm thinking I could take the hot side from the Ebay turbo, port it, and put it on my 14b. I've read and researched and many threads said you can do it. My questions are:
1) Will I have to port it or is it a 7cm housing?
2) Could I just buy a 7cm housing (where), throw it on, and that cure the creep? Or do 7cm housings still need to be ported?
3) When taking off the "hotside" of the turbo am I going to need any gaskets, seals, or other possible misc. parts (DD, will only have a weekend to do it in)
4) I believe I read somewhere that you can remove the hotside with the turbo still installed, True?
5) Is taking the hotside of my turbo, with 230,000 miles on it, an excuse for a rebuild?
6) How difficult is rebuilding my 14b (1-10), where's suggested to buy a rebuild kit, and how expensive is it?
7) What am I all going to break? How hard is Murphy's Law going to bend me over?
Sorry for the book and vague title, just wasn't sure what to call this
