Boosting my 03 ES

ok guys, now that i have read up on a few turbo guides on here, i gots some questions..

first, is a TD05 16g turbo a good turbo for a 03 lancer ES? if not then whats better..
Also, can someone tell me what a GOOD fuel pump would be. Ive heard TRE 255 and Walbro 255 are good...
Injectors...Whats some good ones..
And lastly a new Clutch for my 03 Auto. i want to keep my Automatic Tranny, but what will i need besides a better clutch to be able to run a turbo'd setup on my car?

PS. i would like to hit about 300hp if i could.
thanks

The 16g would be ok and definitely cheaper than other options but looking into a larger turbo wouldn't hurt.

The auto doesn't use a clutch, but you can get a level 10 torque converter to help the transmission.

To hit 300, you're going to have to swap out the internals of the motor. You just might be able to hit it once without doing so but the engine will grenade at that high of a stress level(about 3x stock hp)...

at moderate boost, a lot of guys are getting away with oil coolers, rather than swapping the torque converter. if you're going to upgrade the TC, you may as well rebuild the transmission, and that will become increasingly expensive if you can't do the work yourself.

I had an upgraded TQ converter on an old GSX. It was able to hold a good amount of power.

The td 05 will be a good choice; the spool will be quicker than a higher hp turbo. Power is not the end all; driveability and decent spool time (read less lag) are also options to consider if you will be driving the thing other places than the track.

yeah, i plan on driving it as my daily, but i wouldnt mind being able to have some extra power in it, thus the smaller TD05 turbo. but what are you guys opinions on parts that i might need to hit that almighty 300 that i want?
