Going the fp18g route

[Dsmj89]

I am looking going the fp 18g route and was wondering if this kit here Slowboy Racing :: Turbos :: DSM Turbos :: Installation Accessories :: 2G Install Kit
would work with the 18g, including the $100 upgrade which looks like water lines for a 14b/16g. I don't plan to get the j-ippe though and the hoses as i will be purchasing a fmic soon. Thanks for any help.

an 18g uses the same CHRA as the 14b and 16g. the water lines and oil feed / drain will be the same.

Thanks boosted. 18g it is for me.

Why not save some money and get the FP kit sir? We also guarantee the best prices on the turbo and installation kit

Not to talk anyone out of a sale here, but you don't need any install kit if you're buying your own j-pipe.

Slot the two upper holes on your 2G's T25 oil return line toward center a bit. It won't take much- you'll be able to gauge the amount of material you'll need to remove by tracing a MHI oil drain gasket on the flange the mounts to the bottom of the turbo. I actually prefer the 2G oil drain because it's less prone to cracking at the flex section than a 1G oil drain.

Concerning the oil supply, you can either replace the T25's hard metal oil supply line from the filter housing with a braided steel line, or go with something like this line with sources from the head location sold by Extreme PSI:

You can't go wrong for the price; it saves you about $140 over the full install kit.

Already have the stainless oil feed line kit on my t25, thanks though.

I know the fp kit is going for a good price but my power goal is mid 300's which is why i might end up going the 16g route, maybe.

Then you'll need nothing additional to install a 16G on your car in place of the T25. Use your existing coolant lines and banjo bolts, slot the two upper holes on your oil return, use your existing stainless oil supply line (may need a banjo fitting for the 16G) and install your j-pipe. Installation done!
