Im thinking on replacing my 13g on my auto FWD 94 with a 14b turbo with the manual ECU, injector and FPR. But i was wondering if this swap is worth it. I mean will i see a big difference in power or im better to just boost my 13g to 14-15 psi.

Asking this cuz i ant sure about it, lmk what you auto guys think:cool:

Just make sure that that 14b you put on is a good one. Any cracks in the exhaust housing will kill your spool up. That was my experience last summer, best 60' of 2.8 seconds on cracked 14b. Then I upgraded to an EVO III 16g, and noticed significantly quicker spool and more power.

To be honest I have not seen to many 14b's that are not cracked or blown latley. 14b's getting high in mileage and good ones are few and far between. If you are considering keeping the car for the duration. Buy something else. What are your expectations? I'll give you a piece of advise. Fwd will not launch like AWD. Buy a big turbo now so you can run them down. In my opinion get a 50trim to start. Because you will want it soon enough. Buy now Save later.

Eh, a 50 trim requires quite a bit of bolt ons and knowledge. I would go for a 16g trim, it's awesome versatility on the street and strip, and if you want to sell it, you'll never lose that much.
