<![CDATA[14b or 16g???]]>I have been thinking about a 16g swap on my car (which is almost completly stock). I was wondering is there a huge difference between a 14b and a 16g? The cost is kind of what I am looking at, not cost of turbo, but supporting mods associated with a 16g. I am now kind of leaning to a 14b. I am not really looking to run any crazy numbers, just kind of trying to have a pretty fun car for the streets. What do you guys think about this?

like he said, it will feel slow. I just got my car back a few weeks ago and it already feels slow. I had a 16g on my laser and it felt 5 times faster with the 14b. IMO 16g's suck major wang. I'd hate to see someone else get screwed for the same thing I did.

Buy the biggest turbo you ever think you're gonna want. I "thought" I did that w/ my 18G...was wrong...really really wrong. More details on that later though.

I believe you will have a little more fun with it. You can run a little more boost than a 14b.
just my $.02

Used turbos blow up. Remember your buying a 1G turbo, 90-94. That's a 15 year old car possibly. Don't believe people when they say its only got 10,000 on it or something, becusae its just not true.

There's not a big difference between a 14b and a 16g? Hmm... yeah right! 16g is going to flow a HELL of a lot more then a 14b.

14b or 16g you are going to want a fuel pump, and possibly an S-AFC. 14b's are internally gated, and no, they do not control boost well, especially where we live. Even T-25's boost creeps pretty badly.

With a Big16g or an Evo 16g, your going to need to buy 550's or something in that range; small 16g's are slightly bigger then 14b's.

I've been running a small 16g with 450cc injectors, a walbro 190lph and an S-afc ii.

Since you have a 2G, your going to need a 2G install kit for either one. Anywhere from 100-200 dollars depending on what you get and how you put it together.
