i believe you need the installation kit, like for a regular 16g or big 16g

A T-28 is a direct bolt on for a 2g and it's comparable to a 16g. If you are worried about an install kit, an fp green probably isn't the right turbo for you, yet, especially since the turbo alone goes for $1300 new. Then there are the suporting mods you will need.

yeah i just need something for now, my turbo appearently isnt running how i should be, i think theres some sort of leak, an evo 3 would last me a while in the long run

oil return line to the turbo is different ( flange ) but same on pan.

Oil feed line is different. Yoy an plug the bottom and use a 1G oil feed line.

I think you can swap the water lines around to fit the 16G, some rubber line and your set. Banjo fittings should be the same.

J pipe. you will need to have a J pipe made/bought to get the turbo outlet to the lower IC pipe.

Some places sell kits for 250-300 it can be made for about $100 worth of parts.

I agree. You're looking at $100 to get it installed if you're cheap and look around, worst case $200 if you just buy the individual parts.

When people say "install kit" some people are thinking a custom manifold and mounting kit that can run a lot of money. Its not.

should i just see if i can get my hands on a 14b in the mean time and build up the engine and come back to the turbo when i have the other supporting mods?

the 14b and small/big/evo 3 16g all use the same housing, so to put any one of those on a 2g will require the same "install kit."

I've been told that if i get an aftermarket J pipe and an stainless oil feed line i wont need a install kit any truth to that?

Those are parts of every 14b/16g 2g install kit, so if you got those seperate.. you would need to piece everything else together.

You would also need a 1g oil return line, gaskets for both ends (turbo and oil pan), crush washers for the water lines (I'm pretty sure you can use your t25 ones by bending them a bit but check the vfaq to be sure), and maybe a pipe to meet up with the j-pipe to go to the stock sidemount (or stock type piping for a fmic).

yeah i guess im buyin the kit then, i dont even want a new turbo yet i need one my t-25 is half blown so id rather just upgrade, will a evo 3 be alright with a stock engine

willfromfreeport · Posted: Mon Dec 20, 2004 9:24 pm Post subject:

The engine will be fine as long as you tune everything right. If you keep the boost really low, you can get by on stock injectors.
