20G TSi Posted May 11, 2002 Report Share Posted May 11, 2002 Hey all, I'm going to put this 16G in my 1995 TSi today. I'm not sure if anyone here graemlins/gives.gif but I'll try and take some pictures and comment on the overall install. I've got the typical broken exh mani studs, so this should be fun ;\ I guess i'll have frickin aol host the pics unless someone here is nice enough? ?

SamZman Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 So how did the install go? I had a 91Talon and put a big 16g and it was a pretty easy swap. But I know the 2gs are a little tougher. Good luck.. if you aren't already finished smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest badmuthrfkr Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 2G requires a kit to bolt on a 16G or whichever turbo you choose. It runs about $350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20G TSi Posted May 12, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 FINALLY got it done. I have a lot of pictures, but after i thought about it, its probably not worth posting since there's already a thousand 2G - 16G installs on the 'net. the only thing different was fab'in up a lower IC pipe for the MKIV IC. Everything went fairly smooth... I just got back from a quick burn-in and DAMN does it feel doggy down low. I've heard the automatics have small cams, which affect spool up... guess its time for some 1G M/T cams. Then again, I didnt put tooo much load on it either. So far as a 'kit' goes, I just needed the j-pipe and a '94 GSX oil line. About 90 bucks. Not soo bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20G TSi Posted May 14, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 graemlins/gives.gif Update... I got the boost controller dialed in. It spikes to about 17-18psi and drops back to 15. then creaps back to about 17 @ about 6500rpm. Its sweet, it'll spin through first and into second, hook, then spin again on the high end. cool shit. I think i'm going to post some pictures of the port job I did on the manifold 02 housing and exh housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
