you should be able to keep you A/C just fine..and a 14b will work well with a stock d16.

I think it will be much easier and less time consuming if you went ahead and got the greddy kit, new or used it's still a pretty good deal.

well the only decent price i could find on a kit is 1600 CDN.....and the ktis are in teh US

i got this one kit i can get but people are tlling me its pretty beat up

and also i heard u can do acostom kit for well under 1000 canadian

not sure how much a costom downpipe is gonna cost
but i figure 200US for manifold greddy
100-120 US for a 14b thats in good condition
??? on costom downpipe
around 75 bucks canadian for the costom plate

msot of the other stuff u can get for a decent price if you look hard enugg i guess

ne who jus wondering cause i dont wanna buy the parts and put them together and they wont fit or sumthin like that

how is the 14b turbo?i heard ill have really fast spoolup but not the best high end power......were do you think my power will drop off on a 6900 redline.......auto

for a d-series motor it will make a significant difference, it is probably the best turbo size for that particular motor, i helped my good friend install a 14b kit on his d16 and it was ballsy afterward, makes me wish greddy ls kits were that cheap. worth it all the way until you get the boost bug.
