Ive been thinking about going bigger turbo lately especially since my buddy put a 60 trim on his srt. But my car is my daily driver and i dont have a ton of cash to throw at it so im curious as to what turbo upgrade (preferably a kit with oil lines and all nessecary hardware) would be a good bang for my buck but isnt very pricey but also keeps good drivability and wont compromise my motor. thanks guys

 

what is you hp goal that determines what size turbo to go with.

 

look into buschur by what I've seen they have very good prices and they know their stuff

 

Max out your stocker first.

My stock 04 turbo put down similar numbers to a local gt35r car on pump gas on the same dyno

 

i dont want to be over 375 at the wheels just cause of drivabilty and reliability cause i dont know how much hp you can have before you start having issues with things beaking, if someone knows a ballpark thatd be great. And the stock turbo can only handle so much so why put all the money into it when i could put that or less into a bigger turbo and get similar results.

 

possibly 20G9-LT from buschur? its like 1700$$

 

the stocker just may be able to get the results you want. 400whp stockers are not the rarest thing around here. what about cams? dont see those listed on your mods check list there. fuel pump would also be a good idea, both of those of course, with a re-tune. maybe another psi of boost too.

 

stocker can put down 375whp and similar tq numbers

get a good set of cams and good tune

i put down 370whp on a dynopac on pump on my 04 stocker with stock outlet and 9.8 hotside your 05 should even be alittle better.

i want cams so bad but theyre like 400 for a pair plus gears wich are like 3somethin and then installation which i have no idea how to do them so itd be almost the same price as a turbo upgrade but trust me if i find a good deal on some cams ill jump on it. just one question though, do my dyno numbers seem a lil low for the mods i have or is it just me? from what ive read i was expecting more like upper 270s but thats just me

 

you don't need cam gears and the install for cams is not much, around 200.

 

If you're looking for a turbo upgrade I'd say look at the FP Green. That's what i'm getting and I use my car as a daily driver.

 

i am gonna stick the stocker and get 10.5 hotside, ported/coated o2 housing,ex mani, intake mani and tb FTW!!! and i love my hks 272's

 

ive got a megan racing 02 if youd be interested. i got it off a buddy and i dont feel like putting it on cause its a pain but its in perfect shape just used. let me know

and PS im looking for cams 272 preferably anyone thats selling them gimme a pm
i know its not the for sale but i figured id slip that in real quick lol

 

Max out what you have first before you jump into something else
