15g To 16t 855 t5 Bigrotch

**merc85** · Sunday 30th October 2011, 21:23

Well, what a day, Bigrotch and i worked on his T5, Changing his tired 15g to his MINT 16t turbo.

Peformance increase was very very interesting and not as expected. (in a good way) lol

1st things 1st, for everyone who says a 16t is more laggy than a 15g, thats rubbish. Big rotch runs a Cone filter, rip kit, de-cat, whites, ecu remap hlm.

As for top end power increase this is true but very slight.

His 855 t5 is now alot quicker 0-60 than my 15g 855. until my 4th gear then a claw it back and both car's remain level throughout then on.

My t5 is running , Simota air intake, Rip, hlm remap , Walbro, Whites. but standard exhaust.ie cat still fitted. (De cat 19t next on the list)

Well done chaps! I think ones the 19T goes in.....will be a different story! But hey, i better keep an eye out for a 19T for mr Rocth cos no doubt, as soon as yours goes in...he will be on the prowl for one! Unless he gets used to his 16T, whichever comes first!

Good work!

oh he will lol. I almost went back to a 15g because of how the boost builds up with the 19, 960 throttle body improved that no end so i wouldn't tell him that
