Worth Upgrading To 15g?

[flaco]

Does this mean that a larger turbo can provide strong boost at lower RPM's with the right turbine (ie, the one I believe to have)? If so, wouldn't the upgrade to a 15G with the 6cm angled housing provide more lower RPM boost than the 13T?

In short, shouldn't the 15G be more powerful at lower RPM's than the 13T (since the 19T can prove lethal)?

I havent tried that combo, but IMHO, yes.

Thing is, your ETM might limit the amount of airflow into the engine if the hange is too radical.

And I also agree w/ dungle about the ecu tune.

And since you have the 15G for free, give it a try and let us know how it works!

Flaco,

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I agree comletely about the ETM only opening as far as needed to satisfy torque request, so I guess I'll see what happens. Figured I might as well rebuild it before installation (shaft is tight, but for the work involved to remove it later, I might as well while it's off), so as soon as I source a good kit I'll give it a try. Anyone have any experience with the Ebay kits?

Thanks,

Joe

Not sure if that was aimed at me, but whatever.

No, I didn't mean it to sound like I was taking a stab at you(I come off more assholeish than I mean to).

What I mean is that if people did it right, I could imagine there being less instances of failure. Of course a higher flowing turbo or increased boost will cause damage if it is not controlled properly or accounted for. I think that has been said before.
