I'm looking for any information about the process of building a K16/16g.
I know a vendor would never disclose such and I don't have one infront of me so I have to ask you guys:
From what I gather: Obviosly they start with a k16 turbine and compressor housing but is it a 16g and remachined compressor housing? Is the turbine wheel or housing modified at all?
Is machinework done to the backplate to accomidate the wheel?

Other than a rebalance and a possible modification to the wastegate bracket, What am I missing?

 

Noone's interested in sharing the knowlege huh?

 

Is it a 16g and remachined compressor housing? YES.

Is the turbine wheel or housing modified at all? NO

Is machinework done to the backplate to accomidate the wheel? Don't Know

 

Thanks for the info TTBoost.
*cough* if anyone has a k16/16g out of the car.. it would take 10 minutes to unbolt the compressor housing and snap a picture or two..

 

Contact member Precisionporsch. He has these turbos.

 

You would think, but it's not that easy to get to the turbos to do that. Trust me...

I wish it were easier because turbo swaps would take half the time

 

I have one for sale. Pm me .

 

Oh I believe you! I ment with the turbos off the car.. before installation maybe.
VBMW- is yours off the car right now?

 

I didn't realize how inexpensive this upgrade was.. I might just post those pictures myself in a week or two.
