It's a Hitachi HT-18.

The T3 turbo is entirely too small for the 13B. You need at least a T04. If you want a bolt-on upgrade to the stock HT-18, see here:

try emailing bnr.

I think the stage 3 is the t04b wheel and housing?

That should be able to put down 320-330 rwhp

You will need a fuel controller and more fuel. You could get away with an safc, but a stand alone EMS like e6k or microtech lt8 would be better. You'll need bigger injectors and an upgraded fuel pump. You can get away with the stock top mount, but a front mount would really be the best choice.
