Slater Posted March 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 it would.←Hmmm, there must be some sort of difference because they are totally different Mitsubushi and Volvo part numbers!I wonder if the wheel is different or maybe the wastegate actuator...I'll try and find out today...- Slater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCviggen Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I think the wastegate actuator is a little stiffer on the later ones. You need a straight flange right? Only the 99+ cars came with angled 16T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachnut Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Okay, number one: you need a straight flange downpipe to replace your conical flange downpipe. I think you know this already, but just reiterating. Number two: Yes, a 16T with a straight flange will work for you, however, you will probably have a harder time finding one from a '96-'97 R since that turbo only came on Euro and Canadian R's with manual trannies. That's why I said to focus on a '98 S/V/C 70 HPT since the 16T straight flange was standard on those models that year here in the US. In '99 they became angled.

Well, I would be ordering one from somwehere like turbochargers.com, so they just order it direct from MHI or wherever. If I was going the junkyard route, the '98 S/V/C 70 HPT would be the way to go like you pointed out.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 why not just take a dremel sanding wheel and see how far down the cracks go down? maybe they are just on the surface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slater Posted March 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 why not just take a dremel sanding wheel and see how far down the cracks go down? maybe they are just on the surface?←No thanks. That would just make it weaker. That's what magnafluxing is for!- Slater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98BRICK Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 that crack can only grow from here man. It's junk. Inability to hold boost at redline is what you will encounter←nice core turbo fer an exchange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricF Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I personally don't think the cracks are that big a deal.15G's will get boost fade either way.Every T3 turbo I've ever seen has multiple cracks around the wastegate flapper and I've never heard of any boost fade incidents with those turbos...Go figure.

turbobrick Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 i think boost fade is commonly confused with weaker wastegates accomodated with the fact that the 15G's cant push past 15 psi efficiently at redline. the only things cracks will get you is inconsistent boost patterns, if the cracks are big enough then yes you can exprience drastic losses in pressure but these are only hairline cracks, all of the higher mileage 15G's i've come across do exhibit these hairline cracks. moral of the story, eliminate possiblities, slater if i were you i'd go the 16T route, when i receive my down pipe from odell i'll give you a ride in a straight flanged 16T w/ 3" system to show you the benefits of going with a 16T.

Slater Posted March 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 As promised here's better pics of the cracks:As you can see it's VERY minor. Only 1 goes all the way through to the other side of the button mating surface.- Slater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slater Posted March 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 nice core turbo fer an exchange?←The way I understand it, only like for like. So if I got a 16T and sent in a 15G core, it would not count. I would get more on egay since it's not that bad.- Slater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
