Im looking into this as a possible future upgrade. I dont want to go as far as a full aftermarket turbo kit, but I'd like something with slightly more potential than the stock unit. How much of a difference is there in the maximum horsepower potential between the stock turbo and the forced performance turbo? I'd like something capable of 375-400whp and high 11 second timeslips. Would it even be worth making such a small upgrade? Im kinda worried that with an intake, exhaust, intercooler, cams, UTEC, etc....that the stock turbo will get maxed out.

 

Here is a list of mods that I have or will have within the next year or so. If someone who knows their stuff would let me know whether the stock turbo will be able to keep up or not that would be great. I dont need a 600hp drag car, just a little extra potential in the upper rpm range.


UTEC
blowoff valve
boost controller
Intake
intercooler/piping
tubular exhaust manifold
o2 housing
catless turboback exhaust
264/272 camshafts
cam gears
lightweight/underdrive pulleys
255lph fuel pump
720cc injectors
