Id go full stand alone if I was you
+1 if you are planning on getting a bigger turbo... full stand alone would need to step in the picture.

If the ebay ad has "JDM" all over it, stay away.

Go with a BNR hybrid to meet your hp goals.

A piggyback will only carry you so far until you experience problems, invest in a standalone EMS, it will serve you better in the long run.

What are your plans for fuel? You have nothing listed, yet you want a bigger turbo.
I wouldn't be cheap if I wanted my engine to last.

BNR stage 4 with a standalone, upgrade injectors to at least 720/1000-1200, fuel pump, at least a 3" dp, fmic, etc. Make sure you upgrade the clutch, brakes, and tranny. Building a fast car is more than just a big turbo. 60-1 can get you well over 400whp i have seen more than 450... but for what you are looking for the BNR is a better option and prolly more economical and you are gauranteed a good product. Get an e-fan and a good radiator while you are at it. And if you would like a little fun extra hp, pick up an inercooler sprayer kit.

Tein S tech springs do sit higher in the rear... what makes you think they were fake?

BNR stage 4 turbos have an upgraded turbine wheel and machined out the housing for the larger A/R wheel.

i would suggest something other than a hybrid for durability, the stresses put on hybrids is a bit much.

stay away from the turbo XS turbos, some of their items are ok but i wouldn't bother with a cheaply built turbo.

I wouldn't, for the same reasons Kahren has mentioned.

Stay away from ebay stuff, I've personally seen several crack. If you want to run that FD unit pictured on page 2, you have to run an oncenter turbine housing. Oncenter turbine housings increase lag and decrease power considerably.

Do it right the first time.
