ive got a 16t with the 3" angled housing waiting to go on the car, and looking to get a decat pipe,but cost is an issue at the mo,so just wondering if i fit the 15g straight housing to the 16t turbo so i can decat the pipe already on it,would i notice any real differences or should i stick with the 3" angled and wait till i can afford the downpipe to match??

Thanked 1,921 Times in 1,186 PostsI`m running a 16T in a 15G straight housing and I have not noticed any lack in performance. But the 3" angle flange would be better.

Thanked 60 Times in 56 PostsGo for the angled flange. 16T CHRA is a superback whereas the 15G is flatback. With a superback, you can upgrade to a 19T compressor later.
