What kind of turbo

[goldeninja20]

I just bought a gst. The car came with a 3 inch downpipe. The downpipe is a vband set up. Is there a turbo that is around the size of a 16g that i can run with a vband set up. Is there a way to make a vband set up out of a 16g? Should i sell the downpipe and get a turbo and make another? (Also the manifold is a tubeular and not the stock log) Any input would be amazing.

So it has no turbo? If it does upload a pic, and we will help you out.

 

[goldeninja20]

no, no turbo. Thats where im stumped. I do know he had the same manifold i have though.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Put up pics of the manifold and vband, well see what we can come up with.

What do you guys think? The manifold isn't bolted on all the way. Almost all the way.

Does your mani have a factory flange? If so, I would get rid of the vband set up and get a downpipe to match a factory style turbo.

I've never seen a 16g with a vband o2. I would just remove the vband piece from the DP as it looks like it is just bolted to the DP, and install a 16g with a stock o2 housing.

Looks like someone was in a hurry to get that turbo off, that return line they snipped was a nice one..

 

[goldeninja20]

Yes it has factory flange. I am thinking about doing that. I was just seeing if anyone else could point me in the right direction.

IIRC, some of the FP Turbos are available with a DSM flange and a V-Band outlet. However it looks like you can pull that O2 adapter off and run a standard in its place.

If you're interested in parting with that v-band o2 housing setup you have there, PM me for sure.

 

[goldeninja20]

should i make my own downpipe with the 16g. Or is there something that will bolt up there. And yes he was in a hurry to get it off . I bought the car, he wanted to take his turbo off, so i said take it off and when you have it off ill give you the money. So he probably was in a hurry.

 

[pats16valve]

Use a factory O2 housing with a DSM turbo.

 

[bryanwheat]

As stated, there is a flange on the actual down pipe that will likely bolt to the stock style o2 housing. You will never know until you get a turbo and o2 housing bolted on there. I would take that header and throw it in the trash.

 

[goldeninja20]

not too change the topic. But I already have a 14b o2 housing. You think the 14b will be getting too hot at like 18-20psi?

why what is wrong with the manifold? I'm going to get it ceramic coated
