Is a 14B or 16G turbo basically just as simple to install as a t3/t4 turbo? The only difference would be getting the matching mitsu manifold?

I might have found my turbo. Let me know what you guys think. It is used but under 500 miles.

-Garrett t3/t04 (.63/.48) Stage 2 turbine wheel
-Inline Pro Cast Iron Manifold
-Tial Sport 38mm Wastegate
-Greddy Type S BOV
-2.5-3" downpipe
-Rev Hard polished intercooler piping
-Drag III Intercooler

all tuned with uberdata at around 8 psi

-Autometer Boost Gauge
-Autometer Oil Pressure Gauge (needs new sending unit)
-Greddy Turbo Timer

He is asking $1600 obo, what do you guys think? And what should I offer?

sounds like your gonna have a sweet *** set-up. all this turbo talk makes me wanna boost the D... but as for above it seems like a good deal but my knowledge of FI is limited

 

Yeah, it seems to be a good deal. I just offered him $1300 shipped, we'll see what happens from here.

EDIT: He said $1300 + shipping, just waiting on an estimate for shipping cost.. oh my the suspense is rising. lol

One at a time please.. don't all jump in at once with some input. ...

does the turbo have shaft play? was everything new 500 miles ago or did he get some stuff used? make sure the welds on the manifold are all good, but other than that it sounds like a pretty good deal. how big is the intercooler? but when you put it on your car you will have to get it retuned.

 

Seems to be a good kit.....all solid name parts. Thats a really good manifold too because the wastegate is in the middle, not off to the sides. Is he giving u the ECU with the uberdata? youd wanna get that re tuned if so, because even if its the same engine the tune will be different. Thats a good kit for 1300 if you get it, but I would wanna know why he is selling it. Make sure you fondle the turbo wheel when u get it, and PAY THRU PAYPAL. This way if u get it and the something is wrong, you *** is covered.

 

^^ thanks for all the advice guys. I'll look into it. And I do plan on paying through paypal if the deal goes through. I'm waiting to hear a response from him.

*cough* ghey * cough*... just kidding bro.. looks like a good deal... then u might be able to keep up

 

I think we worked out a deal for $1400 shipped. I will not be receiving the ECU but he said he will give me the chip with chrome that is tuned which doesn't really matter because ill have to re tune the car anyways.

He told me:

"All you would have to do is buy a chipping kit (15 bucks) chip your ecu and put my already tuned chip in. If you can soder its not hard but if you know a local shop that has done it before that is safer."

I don't really know if that's a good idea though, might be alright until I get it retuned but hopefully we can rap this deal up soon.
