So for a turbo I purchased a used Evo III Big 16g. MHI Compressor and Cartridge, but eBay "Big 16g" turbine housing. Don't ask me why an eBay turbine housing...just came that way, and I feel it shouldn't make a difference.
I was looking at the turbo, and the thing is tiny tiny tiny compared to what I imagined. I understand we only have 4 cylinders and all, but still...this thing is the size of my puberty stricken genitalia.
I was originally wanting to run 3" charge piping, because it looked so much cleaner that way, but now that I see the compressor...there is absolutely no way 3" charge pipes off of this will be efficient. I purchased 2.5" charge pipes, but the difference is still grand.
I have and still am checking out what other tuners have to say (I have been reading primarily dsm forums for this) about mix matching the 16g with bigger housings, and what does/ doesn't need to be improved on this snail.
The turbine housing looks like its sufficient for my goals, but as stated earlier, I feel different towards the compressor.
I remember talking to some tuners over the months and have been referred to an 18g hybrid, some 20g parts, and porting the housings.
BTW, my goals are 10-12lbs max on the stock bottom, and once I am sick of this build I'm goin a bit bigger and better.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Andy.
