c_long20 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I FOUND A 16T TURBO UPGRADED TO A 19T FOR $700 ON EBAY. THE PEOPLE SELLING IT ARE CALLED "NICKEL SPORT". I THINK ITS A LITTLE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. HAS ANYONE HEARD OF THEM? IS THIS A WASTE OF TIME, MONEY, AND EFFORT? SHOULD I RUN SCREAMING INTO THE NIGHT TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE? ANY INFO WOULD BE HELPFUL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Account_Deleted_T5M Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 How do you UPGRADE a 16T to a 19T? Housings/wheels everything is different apart from the flanges, so in essence its a 19T not a 16TThe only thing you could do is put a 19t wheel in it. Go get an original OEM 19T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Housings/wheels everything is different apart from the flanges, so in essence its a 19T not a 16T The housing, I believe is no different, just bored out for the bigger wheel. All you need to do to upgrade any TD04 15G, 16T, etc, to a 19T is bore it out, put in the wheel, and bam! 19T! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbodor3 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 you can get a new 19t from DW for $650ish + SH. New, OEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbor850 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 OMG WELL I FOUND THAT JAMES (James@turbocharged.com) CAN PUT A 19T WHEEL IN YOUR 15G/16T, REBUILD IT, AND CLIP THE TURBINE WHEEL FOR $400. SEEMS LIKE A BETTER DEAL TO ME THEN GOING THROUGH E-GAY. . . AND ALL THE TURBINE WHEELS ON ALL TD04 TURBOS ARE THE SAME (15G/16T/18T/19T), ITS THE DOWNPIPE AND OUTLET ON TURBINE THAT ARE DIFFERENT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royalty Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Oh my ..why not just get an 18t nad drive w/o the fear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyhyde Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Gerry's G-Pop turbo shop used to stuff a 19T wheel into a 16T for $200. Keep in mind, you don't get the wastegate actuator which is stronger on the "real" 19T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royalty Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 so i guess the real deal maker or breaker woudl be the cost of the wastegate actuator. How much would one of those cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyhyde Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I think the actuator is $250. Might be able to modify something else to work. Also, I think Forge makes an aftermarket. Not sure on the cost of the Forge. The best deal is to get the 19T from Waltrip. You are getting a brand new turbo which will outlast your car more than likely.

As you go up, the compressor wheels get bigger. Oh my ..why not just get an 18t nad drive w/o the fear? People have bent rods with 15G's. There is no such thing as driving without fear. It all depends on the modifications, and how you drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yangotang Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Uh. Wrong. The wheels are not all the same. As you go up, the compressor wheels get bigger. You are wrong. The hot side (turbine) is the same, the cold side (compressor) is different. You're confusing the turbine and compressor as being the same thing.
