get it form slowboy http://www.slowboyracing.com , I personnally would'nt buy anything over 200$ on ebay.


buy a 1 g bov from someone , they are a lot better then the 2g one and cost peanuts

I'd go with an EVO III 16g. They are practically dirt cheap right now, you can pick one up for around $550ish and its way better than a big 16g IMO. As for putting it on yourself, PB Blaster will be your friend. Those bolts can be PITA to get off if you've never done it before.

Sounds like ur turo is Done. the first thing i would do is to check if ur turo works, one of the fastest way take off the intake pipe and check if u have pully play.

When my turo blew on me i had crazy smoke and i was loosing all the oil. half of it was in the intercooler the other half in the exust. and when i came to change the turbo colected about 2 QT of oil in the intercooler and piping no BC. so if i would be u just chek the turbo takes about 2 min to do it (or less ir u know what ur doing)

yea i would say my turbo is gone........... it feels like alot of shaft play... good thing it was a t25 i got an extra turbo... i think its a evo 16g but i dont know if thats a good turbo or not
ill have to put it on and find out..

What's the difference besides 2lbs lighter?

 

[blackGSX2g]

The evo flows a bit more than the b16g, and with lighter internals, it spools faster. Alot of that weight reduction comes from thinner compressor blades. I've never had a b16g on my car, but I've been in one. Power output in the evo is a bit more, but the biggest difference is spoolup. With MAFT in my car, it spooled up only a little slower than the t-25 but with way better power

spend the little extra time read about turbos, and reduce the risks getting a lemon.
16g installation will take you couple hours, even more if it is your first time.

unscrew all the lines/drain.
unbolt your turbo to manifold bolts.
unbolt your o2housing to dp bolts.
do your swap.

for a 2g, 16g turbo will need a kit.
