I talked to my turbo guy today and he was laughing with me cause he's never seen a turbo torn up like mine. Had to explain how it all happened. I get mine back next week hopefully!! I'm redoing all my turbo oil lines with braided hoses to make it easier to remove and reinstall. I'll get some pictures up for ya if your interested in it. I know jags.has it done but we also thought about doing it when we first did the install.

-Chris from the iPhone cause comcast does not care about friendswood!!
Hmmmm braded is heavy and they make a carbon fiber mesh that is more durable and lighter... ask Akram for this setup

Hot sides stay the same. Only the compressor wheels are swapped out.

Is the turbine volute the same size on the 16 as the 20g?

I think you're really asking is the K16 turbine volute (snail) the same size as the K24 turbine volute. The answer is no. The K24 is bigger.

When I pulled my K16s off and compared them to the K24s, side-by-side you can see the size difference which is not obvious when you're looking at them underneath the car. I don't have the top view side-by-side but the K16s are on the left and K24s on the right.

Why is everybody wanting a piece of me? Looks like next time we meet the outcome will be different. Hope we can run before the snow comes.

What are you using for fuel in regards to injectors; how big? What type?

And at what hp level do you have to upgrade fuel on these cars?

seimens deka 60lb. injectors.

as for the fuel upgrade , stock injectors with 5 bar FPR will do the trick on the 650 kits .after that you put in the bigger injectors and use the stock FPR. and secondary fuel pump. even with the 650 i would still do the injectors instead of the fpr a bit more pricy but worth the extra peice of mind imo.
