Budget is not a concern for this thread, so you can suggest what you will. Keep in mind that max power will not be required because there is only so much that can be used. Imagine the car has a Tein with EDFC shock adjustment and some good tyres and lets say 265 rear footprint. These specifics are just to take some of the guess work out of it.Stock turbo internal gate?Stock turbo w/ External?Replacement turbo ( larger or smaller ) :rl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave the std turbo on. Get an etm external 44mm wastegate, bigger compressor wheel, 12lb actuator and maybe extrude honed. That billsta dude also had a modified front cover. You wont have any lag. This would be the ultimate and is definately what I would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
