1. my caps lock isnt broken

2. i want to make sure this turbo will fit my car b/c i bought one for it and it was the wrong one, so i dont want to make the same mistake twice.

3. im just getting into the scene about tuning and none of my friends know nothing about this. so, i just want to make sure what im doing before i go and dump a whole lot of money and buy the wrong things.

and this is taken directly from RRE's website.

This turbo is made by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The TDO5-16G with the 7 cm exhaust housing will hold over 20 pounds of boost if you ask it to. If you promise to keep the boost down you can use the stock fuel system other than an upgraded fuel pump. To use it's full potential however, you will need at least 550cc injectors and some form of electronics to control them (Apex AFC). The stock 1G turbo flows 405 cfm vs. the 16G at 505 cfm. With the proper porting of the exhaust manifold, Turbo, and O2 sensor housing, you will hardly notice any increased lag. You will however feel tons of top end power!

 

or a dsmchip.com chip to control the injectors which is alot easier for someone who is just getting into this.

 

x2 when I get a project car going its going to be a disco potato with a tial WG and a custom manifold. I want people to think that the world is ending when I got wot.

 

i would have the wastegate dump tube re-routed back into the exhaust.

 

all you need to know it yes, that turbo will bolt up directly, and it is a great first upgrade for a 4g63. read up on roadrace, it is a great source of info for eclipses. slow, as for the external wastegate, it is definitely not needed for this turbo, it would be kinda silly for such a small turbo. Boost creep is hardly ever an issue for a 16g but when it is, simply porting the exhaust side of the turbo, as well as the o2 housing (or in the case of a 1g it is a good idea to upgrade to a 2g housing) will fix the problem.

As for how much boost to run, following roadraces guidelines is in general safe, 15-16psi on stock fuel will be fine. Once you do decide to getbigger injectors, getting a dsmchip is good, but you should still have an safc to fine tune it. Every car is different and just because a chip is flashed for a certain size injector doesnt mean your car will run just right.

 

I know but they sound cool, the star stage one turbo kits for the 420a use a s16g and they are externaly gated.
