BradyCat Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 If you want to stay with stock fueling, the 16g is the only logical choice. 2013 Ford Taurus SHO 2009 Spec.B SWP Stg 2+ Airboy tuned 2010 Toyota Sequoia Platinum 5.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsurge Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 That's what I thought. Thanks. I didn't see the OP mention getting the other upgrades needed for an 18g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slickwillyo1 Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 OK so got Turbo installed today and took it for quick spin down the road and had lots of power but the spool and bov noise from cold air intake was a lot less noticeable, not sure if that's a problem or not. Main issue is that it seems to want to overheat. Fans kicked on and didn't shut off till I turned it off. temp gauge was going up and not leveling off. Any ideas?

slickwillyo1 Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Also I put the 18g on with the oil line relocation kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsurge Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Is there coolant loss from the turbo failure or replacement? Check the overflow and main reservoirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickwillyo1 Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Yea there was when I replaced the Turbo because of the water line to the Turbo. I put more in and its full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickwillyo1 Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 OK fixed the overheating issue. The reservoir needed to be left open and filled while the car was running. Got that taken care of and no over heating so thats good. Only thing I have now is that it feels sluggish and the spool doesn't seem like it was before. Is this something that the tune will take care of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsurge Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Are you running stock fuel (injector/ fuel pump)? If you haven't already upgraded those, you'll need to. The 18g is a bigger turbo and has a little more spool time. And you will need a tune no matter what you do when moving away from any stock configuration.
