i like where this thread is going, keep up the good work. I've got the same wideband and love it, super easy to get set up. And i'd put the DIY lip back on

Yes, I would go ahead and get a thicker HG since you will be turboing.

just to lower compression or is it just to have a thicker hg? cuz the D16A6 already has a lower comp ratio than the other D16s i believe its 9:1
and what brand? ive heard mixed things on cometic

Mainly to lower compression just a little. I have a cometic HG, no complaints. If you don't go cometic, I would just stick with a new OEM one.
