bad first upgrade

[ceth17]

im a noob when it comes to dsm. but i love then. im putting my car back together and i needed a turbo. i got one from this guy he said it was a 16g and from reading om here i know thats a good beginner turbo. but when i looked at it its a 20g turbo. should i sell it and get a 16g or keep it

Goals ? read the upgrade path for your car biggerr turbo more fuel youll need.

I would keep the 20g....

 

[stukyl28]

Thats even better because if you wanted to upgrade after that a 20g would have been a good step!

I'd go with the 20g personally, I'd jsut be sure to add the apropriate mods to support the 20g soon.

+1. It gives you more room to grow. DSMLink would be a good thing to get to help ya tune or even a SAFC. Bigger injectors, Walbro 255lph fuel pump.
What are your goals for your car?

You can't find them? That's weird. Have you tried looking in the right places.

i believe the 20g still has the same(or at least very similar) Center housging, so you should be able to re-use water and oil lines.

Someone please correct me if i'm wrong. I know on the starions i could re-use my lines upgrading from a 12a to 14b to 16g to 17c to 19c to 20g. They were all the same.

does the 20g turbo have the same oil and water lines as the 16g

a stock turbo and a 16g uses the same lines right? would make sense to me that a stock and a 20g would use the same also.

Fuel, Fuel, Fuel, and a way to control the fuel or you better keep the boost low like 7 psi low or you are gonna cause some serious damage. I went big with injectors and got ecmlink to control the fuel. A larger fuel pump is also gonna fall into the equation. If you are just going to bolt the 20g on to get the car going I would seriously keep boost way down or you run the risk of running dangerously lean and knocking. Just some things to keep in mind.
