Thanks for all the great information. I forgot to mention that I do have a HKS single plate carbon clutch. I consulted a local turbo specialist today and through our conversation, he told me that its a waste of my Kansai Manifold if I run a 16G. The size of the intake manifold would also make my low end suffer a little and advised me to send my turbo to the UK and get it ported and hybrid it to a 20G. I'd definitely read up more on the reds and greens tho. As for weather my turbo is a 71 I'm not exactly sure yet. As I mentioned, its a used car but I will check it out.

Chamama, one of the main reasons that made me consider changing/porting the turbo is because of reliability issues and stock E9 turbo are hard to come by where I live. I understand that turbos sent to the UK to be rebuilt are made to last and could also increase my response. Hence it makes me ponder if I should pick one off the shelves or just fu*k it and send my turbo to the UK and pay the hefty price tag.

get a 20g its cheaper!!!!

FP green is a good choice but a little pricier, depending on how much power you want to play with.

I'm only looking at 380-420HP for drivability. Don't want the car to be too hard to handle in the circuit. Hows the spool up for the green and the red? What are the specs of them. Are they 20Gs? I went to the website to take a look but could not really get much from there.
