I have an E3/16g that needs to go back in cause slag hit the blades. its has a month of use on it. took till like over 3K to spool. that was kinda ghey to me. im not about big power, i'm about using the entire power band above 2K.
i would rather get the FP mani than to take all the time to port a stocker that will eventually crack.

lol.
The 16g is not a big turbo, and if you're spooling at full speed by 4K, it's also unlikely you're running a big boy.
My FP Green with 272s and a 2G mani spooled 25PSI by 3300RPM and still had plenty of headroom to go. I dd'ed it for 15K like that, and the previous owner had the same setup for another 15K before that, no cracks. Even had a welded on flange for EWG.
I think you need to research a bit more, the 14b is not going to give you much powerband and I think that there may have been more than the given issues with your 16G. 3K is still really early in the revband, and I realize you're coming from a S/C'd setup, but the two are really not comparable at this point. There are not a whole lot of turbos that are going to give you full revband performance with early spool aside from the 16gs and 20gs. Good luck with the search. Holla if you decide to step up your game, my 0mile rebuild Green is just gathering dust.
