i like the idea of the Mitsubishi 20g turbo upgrade. I've already got a 19t fitted & don't want to take that off to get the new blades fitted, then get re-fitted [LIST] [*]having not messed with the turbo's before can a 16t be used & machined to get the 19t/20g wheels in or do they have bigger casings [*]will the angled exhaust outlet of a 16t fit the 3" angled downpipe i've already got on my 19t [*]final one. With my turbo being the pre-me7 can i use possibly an old 15g centre core with the coolant pipes arranged as mine are, with the 16t exhaust turbo side & the intended 16t/machined 20g inlet side [/LIST]

[quote=p fandango;466625]heard some bad reports about XS, plus all the flanges are wrong for us[/quote] Didn't even realize about the seller, was just looking at 20g turbo. Don't know anything about it. Is it the exhaust flange that is different ?. I have a 16t and never had it off or looked at one so i ain't got a clue about way flange sits. You could always get a conversion piece made up Is this turbo much better than 19t ?

[quote=t5_monkey;466649]20g owens development ported and polished oh yes yes yes :)[/quote] thats the plan (may not be done by Owens), but need to know if it can be based on a 16t as its hard to find a 19t these days

Anyone know where they are located ?
