Since there are a lot of new 16v turbo projects being built/rebuilt and some new parts coming out it's time for another ultimate 16vt info thread (archived?). The point of this thread is to compare setups and offer advice / information.

Plumbing: 2.5"
Bov / dv: synapse
Exhaust manifold: racecraft log
Turbocharger: garrett t3/t4 50trim 0.48 ex. (looking for 0.63)
Wastegate: Tial 38mm
Downpipe: 3"
Exhaust: 3" straight
Management: digi 1 w/ SNS chip
Injectors: 630cc siemens
Spark plugs: NGK BKR7E .025" gap
Flywheel: autotech steel 10lb.
Clutch: Spec stg.3
Transmission: ATA 02A (stripped 3rd, going with mk4 vr gears)
Differential: Peloquin lsd
Shifter: stock g60 corrado
Everything else assumed stock.
No dyno before trans broke (3rd gear), went 12.9@115 on 17psi couldn't boost until 3rd gear without spinning and going nowhere (195 tires and .48 hotside).
