hmm. I also could bypass the external wastegate (block it off). I think your right. they call it the evo 3 turbo in that link... That might be the answer. Thanks for the link lancerman.

there are a few differnt 16g's. THe rrm manifold will ONLY WORK with the 16g posted on that page (it uses the 14b flange). If you buy the stock ones on ebay the flange will not fit. So if you go rrm you might as well buy the kit altogether. Also stock evo parts are cheap and reliable. THe stock unit wont crack but will be more difficult to drill new holes and the megan racing one will flow better and be easier to drill and both will use a stock/aftermarket evo downpipe.

There are actually three differant 16G's this guy can use and they are the small 16G, big 16G, and 16G Evo III. The differance it the inducer wheel size. The Evo II turbo is a big 16G (big wheel) with a larger flapper in the exhaust housing. This larger flapper allows the car to run under 18 psi. The 16G likes to creep so the flapper was the answer for some. You can get a used 16G for about $200.00 now. The noticable differance it the wastegate, compressor houseing and exhaust housing. The exhaust housing on an EVO 8 or 9 is 9.5 or 10.5 cm where the turbo you need is a 7 cm housing. As for the spinning the other way comment, the 7 cm turbo has its intake on the passanger side, where the Evo 8 & 9 have theres on the driverside. The flanges on the exhaust houing are also different. The one you want has a four bolt pattern. You REALLY need to do some research before you start a project like this, impulsive buying will just get you in a huge mess. Another option for you is a 14B same tubo just a 6 cm housing and a differant inducer wheel.

yes, research I know. I only am impulse buying this turbo because this is what the other two guys used (stock evo VIII) and its a great price. or at least I thought. Im taking a while to do this so I am gonna do my research. Im just asking questions right now.
so is the turbo i have a bid on the correct one or what? Your confusing me actually. it has intake on driver side..

heres a downpipe you can use http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Megan...spagenameZWDVW also megan racing. is 3" and will help spool the turbo faster and give more power. then when you extend it, have that peice reduce to you current exhaust system untill you can have a larger one made.
