ok so after inspecting my turbo i noticed a nice oil leak around the compressor piping. with that and the annoying rattle when it spools. i took it to my shop just to get a second opinion, i pretty much had an idea so yea, i need a new turbo. funds are low so im opting out for an s15 turbo. few questions, after the turbo is installed am i going to notice an immediate power difference? wut kind of potential as far as power does this turbo have. also, i installed the engine with the stock sr MAF, would i still need to upgrade it?

Bugger! you sure its not an exhaust manifold gasket leak?

Yes you will notice power increase, especially reduction in turbo lag and better top end boost holding.

To get the most out of the turbo S15 injectors and a s15 or z32 maf is recommended but you dont have to if you keep the boost down to sensible levels.
