Well i have an auto and i heard i need some adapter kit if i get a 14b or bigger. At least this is what road race told me. But yah if the price is good on a decent turbo i would be all for it.

I will have a couple used 14Bs for sale in a couple weeks... I will be looking for about $250 to $300 (plus shipping to you)for them (each). I just have to what my landed cost will be. I am not looking for profit, I just thought why buy one, when I can get 3. They're coming out of the states so hopefully myself and a couple others can save on shipping and broker fees this way. I'll post when I have them and I know the details a little better.

Mike,
Where did you get the images in your signature? They kinda look like illustrations from the ZumSpeed line (www.dykom.com)
do you have a bigger copy (in .jpg format perhaps)

Thanks!

Mike,
My wife's car is an automatic also and yes, you will need to replace the coolant lines etc...if you want to go with a 14B. I have also ask around and found that the stock injectors will be fine as long as you don't up your boost too much. Oh, then there is a bit of lag but better top end.

So jesse are you done the conversion? How does it work?
How come the turbo is only worth a case a beer man? Is it good shape or do you really like your beer? [Linked Image]

Hi,

I also need a 14B in good condition. But I might prefer a 16G.... I just cant decide... i have a 14B now.. but doesnt give boost.

No boost??? Does it spool? do you have a big bad leak? Is it something a new turbo will fix?
