Im going to run with a stock turbo setup for a month to work the bugs out. But after upgrade time so im saving money but I have to figure out which turbo would be best. I want something that will let me run low boost through the city because its my daily driver (and to save a lilgas haha), but when I turn up the boost I want it to make enough power to play with sti's, mustangs, gst's, rsx-s etc....I was looking into a Evo 3 16g, but I need some advice on what to get, I also notice that some require an install kit, since my car is a 2g but it has a 1st gen top half would I need an install kit for the turbos that require one for the 2g?

i was also lookin into the to4b v-trim its rated up to 600hp and at 10psi with a good tune its at about 300hp but its a bolt on so im not sure if bolt on turbos are that great, but it might mess it up from being a street dd car. this is a newb question but where does the j-pipe connect to? because im droppin a 14b in for now to break in my new setup

I would also say go w/ an evo316g since its gonna be a dd, the j pipe is what your gonna need to run the fmic piping. It come off the compressor housing and pretty much faces down. Do a search you find it.

If your running a 14b/16g you will need one.

Yeah thats the stock one and its set up for the stock smic, you'll need one that faces down to run the piping for a fmic.

here is a link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-99...spagenameZWDVW

Check dsmtrader.com or dsmtalk.com for a used one. You can get one really anywhere they are all pretty much the same thing.
