i just picked up a turbo from a friend, ita ball bearing turbo and heres what the company said about it, this is a direct bolt on for a 95+ car but i can cut part of the outlet off and it will work on my 1g, what do you all think??

You may have heard about the effectiveness of true ball-bearing IHI turbochargers on ultra-performance cars such as Nissan's R390 prototype racer, or A'PEXi's 1100hp V-MAX Pro GT-R, but if you are the owner of a 1995 to 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse, we at XS Engineering, Inc. would like you to feel how life is in the fast lane with our 16G-Killer turbocharger kit. At the heart of this kit is one of the most technologically advanced, true ball-bearing turbochargers available. Only the 16G-Killer can deliver over 350hp worth of air, yet still respond like a stock turbo. The secret is in the bearing structure. Properly set-up ball-bearing units require less exhaust pressure to spin the turbine wheel due to the lower coefficient of drag that the bearings create on the turbocharger's rotating assembly. Utilizing the same ball-bearing technology that enabled Honda to dominate Formula 1 racing, the 16G-Killer delivers both increased turbocharger efficiency and transient response. What does that mean to you? Simply put, power on demand!
 
Wow I haven't heard this turbo in a while. I don't even remember what the max HP someone made on it was.
 
see another buddy told this buddy to take this one off to put on the evoIII big 16G and said even to me that this turbo was crap (is mechanically fine, but little performance) he also said its not any better than my stock 14B :rolleyes: thats my dillemma, is this gonna be worth it or should i just sell it ang get a bigger turbo like a 18G or something?
