a few Q's

[mystiquesvt]

#1. Where's the cheapest place you've seen a 2.3 stoker kit? (for the not to near future so i can start saving)

#2. I've been hearins all kinds of different problems with evo 16g's having creep problems.
With the purchase I just made of the s.b.r. mani. evo 16g and the evo O2 should I have any creep problems?

#3. are steel braided oil lines really that important for less than 400whp applications?

I have the same setup, boost creeped to 25psi yesterday by 5k rpms :thumbdown cold weather (16 degrees out) seems to worsen the problem. Get your wastegate ported.

Steel braided lines my not be nec. but several vendors will not warenty the turbo without them. plus there easier to install.

creep is a problem with all 16s, especially with non-ported stock O2 housings. as for your particular set up, put it on then let everyone on here know if you have creep or not.

the steel braided line is just good insurance. would you really want to risk a $500+ investment on an oil feed line that's $50? be smart about it and do it right the first time.

okay, so port the o2 housing, and the wastegate. thanks guys. As soon as I get the time to install it, I'll let you guys know how it went.
