ya lol. does it look like the 12g? one more question the restrictor for the oil. how big should it be? i herd it was only suppose to be pushing about 20 psi. well i think its pushing the same oil pressure as my car. should the hole be about a .25 in diameter? iam trying to figure out why i blew my seals in the turbo and the only thing i can think is that my turbo is not ristricted on how much oil is beening pushed through my turbo.

^^That's the problem with DSM/Mitsu turbos. No one makes a restrictor for them. So, you need to run a smaller feed line.
Looking at it from the pics, not really sure what size it is. Doesn't look like a 16g.

The inlet is not 3inch either. If that was the case, he would have a 3 inch intake, to which its a normal intake if you look at the pics where the kit is inside the car.
Inlet looks to be 2.5 like that of the 16G. Even the 20G doesn't have a 3 inch inlet. It has a 2.5 also.

The Inlet on his turbo looks so BIG, because the compressor is so SMALL. I bet that thing spools at like 1500rpm and runs out of steam at 4000rpm.....WAY to small for our motor. It belongs on a 1.6L not a 2.4L.

hum. i see. the spool is quick and your right i run out of steam around 4k it has alot of power to it. but its not tunned either the car is running rich. the guy i bought it from changed to exhaust on me. iam hopeing that the car runs good. although iam not to sure what is going to happen during college. alot of money issues. how big exactly should the restrictor be? and how much psi should be pushing through the turbo?

the car is already boosted. iam not to worried about the car holding boost to redline because its more a chance for something to go wrong with the car. right now i just want the car to run good and not to have to worry about the car messing up on me. it being that small of a turbo i dont think i have anything to worry about iam just worried about the turbo it self. i have herd when the turbo goes bad parts of the turbo goes into the intake that is if the turbo really messes up. is any of this correct?
