[MoozillaGSX]

Ok the Turbo on my 95 GSX is going bad, i bought it that way and didnt know at the time ( poor research b4 i bought the car ) but i want to replace it without speding a ton of money...all i want is to take off my stock one an put on a new one...but i want the new one to be more powerfull....he says 18g will be just fine for the replace ment. its not a kit just the Turbo it self....so my question shorted up is will it blow-up / mess up anything ? anyone have any opinions on what it is i should do instead ? thanks.

On a budget a 14b may be the way to good. Good ones are in the hundred dollar bracket. Still used, and still a risk though. New 16gs go from 500 to 600 bucks. Your call. Read the vfaq on how to install it, you'll need the usual parts (j pipe, l pipe, and feed/return lines) or use some of the various tricks found in the vfaq and in other threads on this forum and others. For example, reuse your water lines but swap them, and file out the holes on the 2g return line so it can be reused, etc. Read all the instructions you can find FIRST, then ask specific questions here if you have any. Good luck.

Concider it a blessing. lol The 2G Turbos are worthless, you can easily find a good used 1G 14b Turbo and the necessary odds & ends for it to work & fit correctly.
