Talking Biggest FD turbo???

What is the biggest single turbo you can get on an FD. By biggest I mean size and horsepower out of it.

as big as you can fit on it and the hp is only as good as the tuner and the rest of the setup

My friend just ordered a thumper to go into his FD with a 20B. BTW a thumper is bigger than a Y2K turbo, in other words it's ridiculously huge!

You can put a pretty big turbo on there.

I'm not sure what turbo it is. I've had the pic saved to my HD for awhile, not sure where it came from.

I'm asking because beside it looking very cool I'm in the process of upgrading my turbo and if I find out who makes it I might just get it.

You may not want the biggest turbo available. I think you might be able to live with a mid-size turbocharger, such as a GT40R, or a T78 33D. It's all in the tuning .

BTW, how much power are you trying to make, and where do you plan on maximizing this?
