I want more power! for my TME

Hey guys I'm thinking of getting bigger turbo or upgrading other things for my TME if you have any advice or recommendations please feel free to post. I would also like to add that my car is pretty much stock not much modifications too it. So if I do upgrade my turbo what other modifications will I need to add. My budget probably just under 10k.

If I had a TME I'd keep it stock. Those are destined to just go up in price as time goes on.

I would say FP 71HTA, intake, full exhaust, S1/S2 cams, plazmaman intercooler&piping, & tune. That way it remains mostly stock(ish) and gives you an extra ~40-50whp. Spend the rest of your budget on new bushings, sway bars, and a nice set of coilovers (like MCS or JRZ)

Also, get rid of the ACD pump and go with the RS rear diff or a USDM 8/9 rear diff.

It's a limited edition car. Keep that and buy a cheap 8 for modding.

Thanks for the comments guys!
I'm actually looking at Gtx 3076
Does anyone know any other set ups they have done on their car or know someone?
I'm just looking at what options I can do to it.
Also in saying that I understand in keeping most of it stock.
Although I don't really plan on getting selling it atm, I just wanna see what I can do and have fun with it.

I've seen so many hacked up Evo 8s, why risk buying someone elses junk to try and mod if he has a great platform to start from? It is only a car.

If you really want to mod a TME, keep the spirit of the car and buy this:
