Should i switch???

hello, well right now im facing a problem, im running a custom turbo kit that a friend and i made, wich originally was running a garret t28. after some experiments we blew the gaskets of the t28, so i decided to make a change. then i bought a t3 with a cheap internal wg, but with the dump pipe and because of the wg im heating too much my o2 sensor and as a consecuence getting the o2 sensor heater circuit code.
after this, right now im getting a pretty good deal with a 16g including the dump pipe, both came of a evo 8 gsr, and they have barely 16k miles on it.
so here's my question. should i switch??? i know i will have to change the manifold and i will be facing the problem of the slave cylinder ( my car its an 04) so what u guys think???

pd" i will post some pics of my current set up shortly. (as soon as find my cable of the camera)

i cant, because the rrm its made to work with the 16g of the evo 3, and the one im buying its from the evo 8.

unless your a pro welder and your building an actual header from thick stanless steel I dont suggest trying to just cut and weld on a flange , its quite a bit more difficult then that

Also the headers will be made in the usa and no cheap ebay type crap , along with that will be a proper manifold/turbo bracket specifically for the 4g94 engine

well today after gettin paid, i went to my friend's house to buy the turbo. so yes its now in my hands the 16g with the o2 housing ported and aftermarket downpipe. besides he also gave me the o2 sensor, so i think that i got a good deal after all, i just paid $250
now i will be waiting turbolancer02 to see what he worked with justin from speedcorps, and start buying stuff like the forge wastegate actuator and the low boost spring

For $250 you got a great deal! The 16g will definately be a plus because it will last your throughout the life of your car considering you can push high amount of boost running stock internals
