Volvoman37 Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 i know the swap can be fairly easily done, but how much would a 16T turbo cost?im getting insane boost fade @ 3500-4500rpms, and ive heard a turbo upgrade is a nice way to solve that problem, but how much would a good condition turbo cost me?

New they're around 750, used (if you can find one) around 300-400 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volvoman37 Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 you sure its the turbo and not the wastegate actuator ?? i know i was experiencing extreme boost fade until i swapped out a stronger actuator off of my 16T on the 15G, the turbo still fades but not nearly as much, hold 14-13 to redline spike 17.←yeah, i pretty much did the exact same thing. ericF got me a 16T actuator and now it holds anywhere from 10-14psi till redline, and spikes to 22-23 sometime im thinking if i can get the rod length right and the right setting on my MBC, i was hoping i can get it to hold 15-16 till redline, but im not having any luck in this endeavor. should i remove my MBC? loosen/tighten the wastegate actuator?

turbobrick Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 if you spike to 23 i wouldnt be messing the WGA any more, i've achieved 14-13 at redline just using the stock BCS with the WGA turned like 2 complete turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
