Only "hybrid" compressor upgrade turbos will fir the stock turbo exhaust manifold.&nbsp The stock Hitachi turbo uses a lot of the same parts as Garrett T04 series turbos.&nbsp You can go as big as a 60-1 compressor upgrade before the compressor housing gets too large that it hits the lower intake manifold.&nbsp Compressor upgrade turbos are limited to about 300hp.&nbsp These are very nice options for budget conscious owners who can't afford to go with a full T04 upgrade.

How much does it usually cost to upgrade your turbo?
