Help me pick a new turbo
OK so its time to upgrade the ol turbo. I know that I am going to get a BNR rebuild, but i'm not 100% sure on wich one I should get.
My car
87 Turbo II
Rtek 2.0
4 X 720 injectors
Walbro fuel pump
Racing beat turbo back exhaust
Dumbass cone filter
Pretty much everything else is stock
At the moment I am boosting to about 12 psi with the boost creep from my tiny stock turbo port (11mm i think). I know (strongly suspect) that with the upgrade that will drop down to about 10 psi, which I am fine running for now. That is what the RB set up is supposed to run and I'm hoping thats what i will end up with.
Anyway....
the only upgrades i'm really looking at in the near future is to fab up a box for my cone filter that uses the stock, over the radiator intake "hose". and then maybe a solid TID, I want the one that banzai made but i have to search for one. That should put me back to about 12 psi.
I don't have much interest in an upgraded intercooler. I know that it makes a big difference but that is a ways down the road yet. For now I am just looking to run 10-12 psi with the stock cooler.
So should I go for the 1,2,3 or 4th stage? Im not really thinking much about the 4 but it is an option. 2 and 3 are strong on my list.
Fire away with your oppinions!!!!

Does the Rtek 2.0 mess with timing at all? If not then I would just stay with a stage 2 or 1.
