Need some quick helpp!
Ok, so i'm about 500 miles away from 80k
luckily im ocd and take extremely great care of my car...ive recently been offered a great deal for a brand new 18g turbo and was wondering if it would be that beneficial to swap out the 16g i currently have in my VIII. ANYYY thoughts would be greatly appreciated

not familiar with the term 18g but I went to an FP RED at 70k and then my injector went bad and my motor blew right at 80k
luckily enough I pulled it for a 2.3L build
..
I would say do it.. Shouldnt hurt anything, mine was more of a freak accident with a clogged injector. Just get a good, conservative tune

the 18g is basically just the later VIII models and the evo 9 and 10....basicallly just has the same inlet with the bigger hotside...supposed to be able to make more boost while still keeping it safe. plus i figured it wouldnt hurt to slap a brand new turbo on also
lol

My car is at 120+k miles and i have a BBK Full with who knows how many supporting mods i have with E-85 and i am nearly at 500whp. So if i can do it, I KNOW you CAN do it as well. 80k miles is no problem what so ever for a bigger turbo with alot other mods. Just makes sure who ever tunes your car is a legit tuner. Non of those fawking copy and paste shats that those tuners do and just grab you moneyz and walk away. :\

i really appreciate ur help fellas...and boostismydrug...hes a freind of mine who is building a talon but he bought the wrong manifold and turbo..he actually bought the manifold and turbo to fit an evo
so now hes gotta get rid of both of them for crazy cheap and i need a new manifold as well so it worked out perfect...but i should still get it tuned even if im gonna run the same boost i am now? only because im was kinda hoping to wait to tune wen i got a meth kit..
