Default 14b vs DSM t25 ?

Im currently running a DSM t25 on a d16z6 @ stock 8psi. Ive been very happy with it so far, but would like a little more power in the upper rpm's. Mine is great, but doesn't seem to pull as hard as Id like in the higher revs. It just seems to plateau.
Anyway, I was thinking about upgrading to a 14b. Im pretty sure everything will bolt right up (HF manifold, BMC DSM adaptor Plate, DSM 02 housing, and custom downpipe)

Ive heard you might need to clock the 14b compressor housing for the charge pipe to chear, and possibly reloacte the wastegate? Idunno.

So My questions are:
1. Is it worth the swap?
2. and will it bolt right up?

it is a bigger turbo but not a huge difference, everything will bolt up but you will need to build a new charge pipe and reclock the turbo.

I say it's worth the work. It's a better turbo. I've run both.

2g DSM guys are swapping their T-25's for 14b's all the time. From what I have read on both turbos, the 14b should give you just what you are looking for. It will be more laggy, but will give a much better kick in the pants in higher RPM's

Look around a little more and buy a 16g.....If you shop hard enough you can sometimes pic one up on the cheap for a little more

as far as charge pipe, mines rubber, so it should be fine. I might pick one up, and see what she does for me. If i dont like it, ill throw the other one back on. Thanks guys.
