putting a t25 in my 1g

[Mike1109]

Ok First I'm new to the site so hi all. Secound I have read and I do know that the 2g T25 is a down grad but the 14b is shoot and I got a perfect T25 for free from a friend. Here is everything I have found out so far. I know the o2 housing from my 14b is good to use, and I have to extend my LICP to reach. My two questions are will my oil and water lines work, and how do I tell what port is the oil feed and the 2 water line. I'm only boosting 4psi with 14b, have oil in the inlet side no shaft play and I have check for boost leaks and all my exaust bolts are tight. Thats why Im trying the turbo. Trying to swap tonight so any info will help thanks all.

If you have a bad seal, you are going to have shaft play (correct me if im wrong). When my PTE 50 trim blew, I went from being able to boost 20+ psi to not being able to get even 1 or 2. Tons of smoke out of the exhaust and shaft play. Blown turbo.

Yeah, that'd seem relative to me, but as I said I'm no turbo expert and have little knowledge on how the seals function to seal everything off. I'd be sure that there is a certain section that seperates the exhaust from the intake side. Who knows? Jus would.

At any rate, you now know what you need to check and should go about doing so. Good luck.

Ok 14b wg is opening at 10 psi and the t25 is at 18/20 so bad wg?

The Wastegate on the t-25 is opening at 20PSI? I'd be more concerned with that one. The average Waste-gate pressure on a 14b is 10-12PSI.
