There is no such thing as a 17G. The correct Mitsubishi part name is 17c. The Mitsu lineup consists of 14B, 16G, 17C, 19C, 18G, 20G 25G. Then there are some others in between for 3000GTs of I believe 9B, 12G, 13G, 15G.(not sure on all of these ones) The SyTy guys are hoplessly incapable of turbo terminology. ---

The turbo moves ALOT of air. Its really a good turbo at low boost. Your not going to run anything above 19psi productivley. So just have a good intercooler system. The turbo is known to blow alot of hot air… ---
