So I just recently bought a 99 GS-T, replaced the intercooler piping due to a leak from the plastic hose that attaches to the top of the intercooler (rubber piece rotted) with some hard pipes, and replaced the BOV with a greddy type fv2, and I've been also wanting to replace the stock turbo, obviously with the 16g, and I found one from extreme psi that is the EVO 3 16g that I'm eyeing to buy, but I know I likely have other things to replace as well for the turbo, an obvious one being the intercooler, but other things like the downpipe and exhaust manifold most likely, so I figured I'd post in here and ask for any advice anyone can give for this, as well as recommendations on what parts I should replace along with upgrading the turbo to the 16g.
My intention isn't to add crazy horsepower, at least not yet, I just wanna replace the turbo cause while yeah it's fun to drive, the stock turbo just feels a bit lacking to me, and I wouldn't mind a little more oomph from the turbo, but I don't wanna attempt to tweak the boost on the stock turbo, so I figured just upgrading it would probably be best anyway and replacing it with the 16g is an eventual inevitability, so I may as well get it over with.
