Stealth turbo upgrades

Who has one!? I've been reading and researching and have come up with a few options. I have a BB 50trim thats been collecting dust for almost 2 years. I'd need more parts to complete the Hafe set-up, but it wont look 100% stock. BBK full is an option since many locals have proven it to be reliable for decent gains on a maxed out stock turbo car. BBK B might be an option, but the eta as of last week is still 60 days. Fp products have had mixed feedback so im pretty sketchy, but the Fp black sounds like a winner (if it doesnt fail). You also need all kinds of extra **** that add$ up for the install. Tomei has an ARMS m7960, but nobody has really talked much about it. Any input will be helpful

If you want to stay totally stealth, then the FP Black is out isn't it because of the larger ported compressor shroud and the non-stock appearing intake tubing required? The BBK, BBK-B, or stock looking FP HTA Green or Red would be your best bets. The ARMS Tomei has a non-stock compressor housing as well.

The only current turbo upgrades that will look 100% stock are the MAP SST and CBRD BBK.

BBK, FP Green, FP Red, FP Black, MAP SST, and Tomie Arms are all built off the evo 9 turbo housing. Therefore, they appear stock, even though they are larger.

There really is no need to go beyond a stock frame turbo unless you want to make 600+awhp. The Black is capable of 500+awhp on pump gas.

Road Race Engineering GT3076r Kit











The RRE kit is nothing but HAFE parts but it does have a few RRE special touches added to the mix...!

Just get a red like I do and run it on e85 at 30psi this is definitely a fun turbo.

Or you could get a green,bbk turbo if you want the spool.

I see you are in my area so if you see a white RS wave

Im also running the OG 64mm RED. Stock looking, including that it uses the stock induction tube.

And like roadspike said, run E85. You live in Sac, which is Cali's E85 heaven. You guys have like 12-15 station in the Sac area. So I think that is your answer.

We actually discontinued our turbo program a short time ago as we didn't have the resources or manpower to maintain it properly. You really need to dedicate all of your time and effort to be successful in that market. As such we will be running / recommending Forced Performance turbochargers from here on out.

Most of us Cali kids love and understand stealth.

Here is pics of my 64mm FP RED. I also have a open element filter hiding in that stock airbox

I have the 64mm red just like the stock evo9 turbo. I should probably get the 80mm cover upgrade so I don't get 4th gear surge at low low rpm.

I run a stock ecu speed density conversion so my engine bay is slightly different than normal :P.
