Need help deciding the right 16g turbo

[jmatyas]

My stock pos turbo looks like it bit the dust and I'm looking to not only replace the turbo but of course go for some more power while I'm at it

So far I have a few minor mods cold air intake and a 3" exhaust. I installed a eprom ecu but have not had it chipped yet. I also have a punishment fmic on its way as we speak so ill have that installed and ready for the turbo of choice.

Trying to decide the right one because I have read through a ton of forums and read this and that back and forth so maybe you guys can help. Its going to be a street car first and slight weekend track fun. I guess around the 350hp mark without worrying about blowing my engine haha. Most people have said the small 16g is the right way to go but with my car being a spyder and a lot heavier than most i didn't know if i should go bigger. Thanks for any input on this i need to buy a new one asap.

Man i hate to hear that about your b16g, i hope you can get the engine built the way you want now that your starting over . Im back and forth between the b16g and the e316g. The b16g ive heard is stronger and more reliable than the e316g. So i might just go with that. I still have about 2 weeks to decide...but the sooner the better for my daily driver...

I personaly would go with the E316G....and when you do, I used this bible for it ...How to: Replace your T25 with a MHI Turbo (14b/16g) - Team-2G Mitsubishi Forum

Ok that is by far the best diagram on how to do this teardown/install of the turbo. +1! Thats going to help me out a ton on how to do this. Like i said working on hot rods my whole life is a change to imports. Cant wait to get shadow purring like she should be

That being said dose anyone know where i can get the best price on a 2g 16g install kit? I keep seeing the go for around $175 shipped but i didn't know if anyone knew of a good sale out there?

Run away from that kit as fast as you can ha-ha. Never go ebay on the turbo. The rest of it would most likely be ok but i have some nightmare stories about ebay turbos. Everything from the fins melting to the shaft snapping off within a month or two...Yet at the same time i know someone who has about 7k miles on a ebay 16g with no shaft play. Best bet is go MHI for a budget. They cost around $500 new and $200+ used.

Also check out punishment racing they have a great price on there fmic. Hit them up with a pm and see what they can do for you

...You dont need an install kit, if you search and do your research. I would recomend a 1g oil line and using that to supply, you need some new bolts and a few other things, like a j pipe off ebay is fine. Just search, its a great button.
