Why would you opt 18T over 19T?

Just curious. 18T is pretty hard to find. 19T's flow better and are more common.

Good luck.

Edit: Grammar (its still probably wrong)

a big reason that i wood opt for an 18t is the the strait flange....

..but does that change the angle of the outlet / throughlet to the down pipe? does that influence the flow (rate) of the exhaust gases?

a. ----I----- or b. -----/-------

flow should be -----------------> either ways. Or am i totally wrong?

thats a long wait :(

but I bet it'll be worth it  :D

(only problem then is that you have pretty much modded-out your car.............but there's always the engine left ;) )

....and is still have the b5234t3 ('98) with 80K km on it. and go the verdi rod, oem overbore piston way, perhaps? plus some porting+polishing? :)

my guys checkin on it again, but he swears up and down (and he really has no reason to lie about it) that it came out of a 1998 S70R. which is the 18T.. so we're hopin! :)

It measured 1.8 inch inlet which is roughly 46 mm.

A 19T measures ~47 mm and a new style 16T near 44 mm inlet.

Just thought i would add:

manual s70r's come with the 18t and the auto's with 16t's.

if someone can post a pic of the compressor wheel from the 18t and 16t next to a 15g then i might be able to help as i remmeber looking at the wheel before i installed my 18t onto a 15g 850r. and they were clearly very different.
