Im on the lookout for a new turbo to fit for when i do my RIP as i might aswel kill two birds with on stone, I've been looking at a 16t on eBay but I'm not sure if its worth me diving in and buying an 18t or 19t? Also what is the difference? Do they all have the same housing size but with bigger compressor wheels?

If I buy the 16t I just don't want to wish I'd have got a bigger one in a few months time!

Don't bother with 16 mate I done that at
And was dissopionted, go 18 or more mercs 18 is a pukka bit of kit u will me very happywith that..They come with a 3" angled housing so u will need a diff downpipe, which isn't a bad thing lol

The 19T is a fine blower. Race or decat to make the most of it.

It will but they are designed to be with 3" angled houseing for better flow and they are a stronger houseing

Dan has first dibs mate, but if he gets one before I take mine off, then you can be in second place, there's no cat on it so you would need to sort that out.
