Impressions of the E316G

[RayRay32]

Okay, I ordered the stage 4 package with an E3 exhaust manifold from FP about a month ago with everything ported, it took 3 weeks to come in. But not to worry FP kept me informed of everything. All and all the install was straight foward. The only problem really was with the J pipe fitment (I had to use a radiator hose combined with the J pipe to make a LIP). After running the car with the greddy BC off, I decided it was time to turn the thing on and see what would happen.
Verdict at 12.5 psi: not bad. Not as much as expected but then again Im still quite a nOOb. First is still non-existing (a little joke with us dsmer's), Second is a seat of the pants peice out to most cars on the road, Third is a steady nice pull (this is where I thought the turbo would really shine), Fourth well . . . its forth, and Fifth is not for racing. I believe this turbo will really be a nice hair dryer once I get injectors, some a/f tuning, and a FMIC. There is really noway to tell at this point of how great or terrible this turbo is without the proper supporting mods. All and all this is a good stepping stone for the nOObs.

Mods:
See profile, nothing more than that on the car. (the walbro isnt installed yet due to the fact that I didnt know how it would act with the stock injectors because there is no way at this point to adjust or tune the fuel system)

I know this has been beat to death just wanted to put another opinion on the board. Thanx for all the help guys, the search feature has been very helpful, I wouldnt have started messing with the car if it wasnt for this site. Thanx to the mods.

I really don't see a point to this thread. Your writing a review on a turbo that you should not have bothered to get until you did the proper supporting mods...why? Get all of the stuff, get it tuned, then review it.

The reason I wrote the review was because I was a little excited about IMO a very small gain. People ride this turbo's balls and I figured since so many people are happy with this turbo, I would be too. But then again Im not yet running everything to support it. If you dont see the point in this thread, thats fine. I was just voicing my opinion about my first thoughts on this turbo.

im glad you posted.. im gonna go with the same setup soon and i was hoping to find out how it would perform with little support.. and at what psi ranges

 

[RayRay32]

Ill keep you posted and let me know how your stuff is going too. It kinda helps when people do this together. Ill take some pics too.

Well i just done with my E16G and the snails pulls SO MUCH more better than the T-25 I hold 15PSI with no creep at all (mods are in profile). I cant wait to get some more supporting after i get new rotors, i am gonna save for a FMIC, pocketlogger, SAFC (learn how to tune on stock injectors first), then some 650cc
