Somehow I sprung a coolant leak last night on my drive home and this appears to have prevented coolant from going to the turbo and it cooked it. Oddly the temp gauge on the car (at 90+ degrees as well) didn't even go up a hair.
This is my daily driver so I'm looking for a quick and immediate solution as soon as possible (I'm in Salt Lake City area if anyone is local and/or has any leads). I'd also like to keep the spending to the minimum so I think I'm just looking for another stock 16T to bolt onto it?
Are the 18 and 19T big upgrades that are labor intensive? Do I need to change the exhaust? Also, I have an Orange ARD tune for the '98 R with the 16T, so I'm not sure if I would need a new burn with a bigger turbo? Only mods on the car are that tune and a IPD heavy duty boost control valve.
Also I have a slight weep from my rack and pinion. Is there any advantage to replacing this at the same time as the turbo, while I have it out?
And finally there are a ton of 2.4L cars all over the place with turbos readily available. It is completely bad form and/or will I drastically hurt performance with the 14T and this 16T? Oddly my old 14T 2.4 AWD performed nearly as well as my R does now, which is why I ask..
thanks
