12cm housing on gen 1
Just wondering if it would work to put on my old 12cm W/gated housing on a '93. I was thinking of doing it to a buddy's truck and add a little more fuel at the same time. Trying to think of a good use for the old stock stuff.

I am pretty sure it will, just plumb a line from the intake manifold to the wastegate so it will be able to do its job. I would also guess the exhaust may have to be moved back slightly since the wastegated housing is a bit longer.<br><br>John<br><br>

So, is it gonna be a good thing? I can see the lag reduction and better boost #'s...that means I HAVE to turn up the pump ;D! Worth a shot since I'm not going to use it anymore. His truck is all bone stock too, he'll like the new found ponies!

The 12 will give a noticeable difference in spoolup. However, if you plan on towing or going to extremes with mods in the future, the 12 will have to come off and replaced by a 14 or a 16 housing to reduce EGT's

I guess you are talking about just switching the housing. I thought they would not interchange because they are different turbos? If they can interchange then tomarrow my 18 will hit the can and in its place will be my 12.<br><br>DM01

If not the pipe will hit the fire wall? That would put a damper on things :'(. Like the opposite of swapping in my 16 from a 12.
