Hi guys
I think I am ready to look for higher hp. My current loadout is below
1.K&N typhoon intake head;
2.ETS upper intercooler pipe;
3.ETS FMIC 3.5" - Silver core ;
4.ETS Upper rear piping;
5.ETS Quiet muffler with midpipe;
6.Grimmspeed EBCS;
7.Cobb Accessport
8.high flow cat (I believe it's ETS, not sure)
9.ohlins R/T suspension
Tunned by Brentunning. She makes 350whp now.
Everything else is bone stock include clutch. I am looking to upgrade my turbo to ams stx 500 Garrett GTX3071R or TF06-18K twin-scroll.
Can someone tell me besides turbo itself, what else should I get when upgrade turbo?
I think the stock clutch holds 380wtq so maybe I would need a clutch. Any advice on that?
Much thanks guys.

 

You will NEED a Clutch, fuel pump, fuel injectors, whatever downpipe matches the turbo you select. The size of all of these components will need to match up with the flow/need of the turbo and your HP goals.

It's going to be a lot of an investment to go from 350hp on your current setup to 400hp on an 18K so I'd question the turbo upgrade unless you're looking for 450+ hp.

 

You mean it’s better chase 450+ if invest that much?
How much would you say about the budget?
What I was confused, is the “size all match up”. I am just looking for a shopping list so I can get a budget.

 

Yeah, once you go past bolt ons, you have to do pump, injectors, clutch, tune, etc. It's a lot of cost for 50hp but if that's your goal and you want something more reliable, there's no judgement here.

Pick your HP goal, the turbo will follow that goal, and then the turbo will dictate how much torque the clutch holds, how much fuel you need, etc.

For just parts:
$1300+ for fuel
$600-$1500 for a clutch kit
$1800-$5000 for a turbo (18K on the stock manifold to a full tube manifold with turbo and downpipe setup)
$450-1000 for a tune (remote vs. dyno day)

And then you need to decide pump gas vs. flex fuel vs. E85 and the needs those bring.

 

Won't need a clutch unless you're launching the car. The stock clutch will hold what the engine can safely handle (~400wtq).

What do you do with the car? What fuel do you plan to run?

 

Basically daily driving car. Pump 93. I’ve never launched this car, just occasionally do some pulls.
I heard evo x clutch will take lot labor to change.

 

Again, as stated, the clutch will handle whatever the stock motor can, which it roughly 400wtq. On pump gas you won't make that much. I'd do an MHI-18k, or a vband turbo kit with a Precision gen2 5558.
