I plan on doing a turbo upgrade soon and was wondering if it was worth it to ugrade the stock turbo? I'm not exactly sure what it all entails so info on that would be useful as well. Is it just a bigger compressor wheel? Power wise, is the difference pretty dramatic? Seems like the going price is around 6-700 dollars. My goals are approximately 300hp to the wheels. I'm aware of all the other components that are needed, just need help on the best turbo to fit my needs. TIA

 

I'd do the turbo last after your done with stage 3. Do stages 1 and 2 first .

Stage 1 - gagues, exhaust, catalytic converter, intake, fresh air headlight scoop

Stage 2 - FMIC (front mount intercooler), max stock fuel system output, fuel defeat

Stage 3 - Larger fuel injectors, performance ECU (engine management), etc...

Turbo

 

So far I've done guages, exhaust, tid, intake, walbro, SAFC. New injectors coming soon and turbo and front mount after that. I'm curious about how much hp I could put to the wheels with an upgraded stock turbo with my existing mods and also if the going price, about $700, to do such an upgrade is worth it?

 

I've heard 300rwhp with the stock turbo is very achievable. Only reason to upgrade would be to get the same volume at less PSI or quicker spoolup (with good volume of course).

 

Whats a good brand name to be looking for on a TII turbo upgrade (or even a recommended/popular turbo)?
