any gains?

Thinking of getting upper I/C pipes, 14b, downpipe with test pipe. Any gains or just don't bother and get bigger turbo? I have stock t-25 and not much mods.

Yeah you'll see some gains for sure. Probably pretty decent ones too.

14b's have hit 12s:iceslolan

One person that stands out in my mind is "Arctic TSI". Search that in google for the video. Even though it's a 1g, that's still damn good. IIRC, he ran something like a 12.1. I gotta find the video.

The 14b can never be compared to a t25, since it is so much better in every way. I almost wish something would happen to my t25 so I have an excuse to upgrade, but at the same time, I have no money lol.

Yeah dude, especially if you turn up the boost a bit. I say why stop at a 14b? Small/ big 16g's arent that much and can get you substantially more power than that 14b.

Edit: Fastest 14b in the world hit 10's. It was project Goodwill. Search it here and you will find a link to the home page for the car. Very interesting.

Ditto. Spend a few extra to get a 16G...since they are stock equipment (on evos), you could find them for cheap.:2cents:

Either the 2g solution from turbochargers.com with the MHI evo3 - http://www.turbochargers.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=21_30&products_id=186

Thing is, like all DSMers im low budget and I just want something to make me quicker. My budget as of now is like $500 maybe $700 if i sell my brother's stuff you know? Used 14bs are not that expensive so I have room for D/P and T/P and Upper intercooler. If i were to get 16G then I wouldn't have anything else but the turbo and no supporting mods lol.

14b baby, their more forgeving turbo.... In about a 3 weeks I'm going to put mine to the test. Hopeing to hit mid/low 12's on my dsmlink/WB02/3.3bar/H20/14b full weight 2g. I've got a dejonetool UICP if your looking for one. ... You should beable to get everything you listed in your first post for $500-700..
