initial D is REAL!

Hey guys, I took my s4 turbo apart today. I was wondering if there is a intake housing and compressor wheel I can just bolt on for a cheap upgrade?

What about the 360 degree thrust washers? I found a place for the seal kit, but I was wondering if there is a place I can buy individual parts like a bigger intake housing and compressor wheel.

Is there a certain car application I can take these parts from? Thanks

Oh yeah, should I worry about getting hte turbo rebalanced, and how much should that cost me?

You can't expect to slap together some parts and build a turbo and expect to stay together.
Maybe if you're lucky...

Everything needs to be balanced.
It's most likely going to be out-of-balance, and it'll eat itself within a few weeks.

Ok, I will get it balanced. Is there any upgrade I can do to the intake side? My buddy was telling me about "clipping" the exhaust fins or something.

Im basically trying to do the BNR upgrade, but without the cost of shipping and labor of assembley and porting.

How much power are you looking to make?
A 60-1 is about the biggest thing you can put on the stock turbo...

Ive never had a car with a lot of power and I dont want too much lag. So I would say I want about 290-330 crank hp would b great for me. + i want to go to track events with my friends in the future.
