Question about the 16g install kits

[jmatyas]

About to do my first turbo swap from stock to a big 16g. I know I have to throw on a install kit but i was wondering if they are all the same or if one kit was better than the other.

Also i just got a fmic from punishment racing and it come with the j pipe. Is there any kits that don't come with the j pipe but everything else?

Side note: Still looking for my big 16g, anyone have a good used one let me know

The 16g install kit is basically just piping and a few odds and ends that will make it easier, if your getting a PR FMIC setup buying a 16g install kit is a waste of your money. Heres what I suggest you get...
- Head to Exhaust Mani 4 Layer copper Gasket MR323654
- Exhaust Mani to Turbo Gasket (7cm)
- Turbo to o2 Housing Gasket MD191897
- o2 Housing to Downpipe Gasket (stock) MB687002
- SS Oil Feed Line From the Head Oil Feed From Head
- 1g Oil Drain MD150523
- 1g Oil Drain Gaskets (2 of them) MR258477

You can re-use your t25's coolant lines, you've just got to bend them a bit to get them to work... You put the front pipe in the rear and the rear pipe in the front. To bend them without kinking the hard pipe insert a rod in the end of it and bend a little at a time, nice and slow. You might need to extend the lower front water hose a bit, just use 3/8" fuel line from a local car parts store.

I have a good used small 16g, big 16g, & evo 3 16g that I will sell for fair price, send me a PM if your interested.
