Punishment Racing "Budget" Big 16G??

[PieEyedPiper]

Punishment,
What is average spool up on these turbos? I've noticed quite a few instances where someones "inexpensive" 16g would certainly seem to make the power...but they also spooled at ~3800rpm.

Haha, that's my purchse on ebay. I'm gtidriver01. I agree about the girl though. That kinda makes it seem like any other generic ebay seller.

I'll be putting it on later this week as soon as it gets here.

Tim at punishment has answered my emails pretty quick. I'v even asked several questions the same day and got answeres to them all that day.

I'v already been bashed on for buying it. It's what I want though. Something inexpensive, that will out perform a 14b. I may have bought something bigger/better, but I have a stock Mitsu felt headgasket. it's new, but still felt. Also I have an evo payment that comes around evey month too. haha

Are there rebuild kits available for this turbo?

I was looking at your ebay ad also, and intially thought somebody was ripping off your name since you do have a good reputation.

One other thing, although the picture of the chick is hot and got my attention. I would get rid of it because it make you ad look a little questionable: http://http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270207352176&ssPageName=MERC_VIC_RCRX_Pr4_PcY_BIN_IT&refitem=270205708747&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&usedrule1=CrossSell_LogicX&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget

How did it work out for you?

I'v never ridden in any other cars with a 16g (besides my evo, haha) so I don't have anything to compare it too. This is also my 1st aftermarket turbo for my dsm.

It does spool slower then a 14b. not a HUGE amount, but DEFFINATELY noticeable.
This thing does pack a real punch though. I'v had to use oct booster to get the boost above 13 psi due to knock. My head is milled so my compression is a little higher. I didn't port the wastegate port, and it DOES CREEP to about 18-19 lbs.
I have it about 20 psi right now(22 in 4th) It really moves. I need to watch the gauge closer, but I do't think boost was dropping at 22 psi at all.

I have some logs too, but they are on my other computer so I'll have to log on from thatone to post them.
My injector duty cycle went from about a peak of about 50% to almost 70%!!!! I have PTE 780s at stock fuel pressure.
Also my mas air reading went from a MAX of 830 (hz) to about 1100 (hz) My chip has 2X Karmen so you double those number for the correct readings.


I really feel it has much more boost, but I'm happy for now where it's at. I might turn it up to 21 or so in 3rd.
