what turbo can i upgrade to that's damn close to stock s5 t2? i don't wanna boost too high, maybe highest at 7 lbs (stock is 5.5 lbs right?)
just something that will last a long time and where i don't have to upgrade injectors or remap or anything...
just turbo and manifold.

thanks in advanced

Uh, I'm not exactly sure what you're asking.

Are you trying to bolt some other turbo onto your car?

If so, NOTHING matches the turbine inlet flange of your stock turbo exhaust system.

If you gonna change the turbo exhaust manifold, we're talking at least $200 for the new turbo exhaust manifold and a ****-load of other things just to make everything work.

Why don't you just turn up your boost to 7 psi with a boost controller for $50?

I concur,

Get a manual boost controller, one of the ball and spring types, and turn it up till you hit fuel cut (you'll know it when you hit it) then turn it back till the fuel cut stops... that'll put you around 8 psi of boost. (the stock computer cuts fuel at 8.6 psi) The fuel system and the computer will handle that amount of boost with no problems.

Or if you just really feel like upgrading, a BNR Stage 1 or 2 would get the job done. But either way you'd want some sort of fuel coverage, be it an S-AFC or a standalone EMS.

ok, thanks for all the info guys...
i think i'll just get the fuel cut defencer and a manual boost controller and boost to 7...
is there somewhere i can get an s5 remanufactured turbo? cuz i don't wanna have to buy a stock turbo and have it not last a long time.
i currently have an s4 turbo with lot of miles, and i'm building an s5 motor and wanted to use s5 turbo and manifold, but i don't wanna turbo with lots of miles on it.

You shouldn't need the fuel cut defender if ur only boosting 7psi, fuel cut is at 8.6psi.
