A s2 R33 turbo would almost suit your needs but running 14 psi all day every day may lead to premature failure. Getting close to the turbo's limit. I would suggest a Slide highflow for around $950 c/o or a GCG highflow for $2000. Both will have no problems at all & are direct replacement bolt-on items. Just depends what you want to spend...

Was the reason you need a new one because you were running 14psi on your last?

As wlspn said go for slide or GCG hi flow, but i guess it comes to what you can afford.

If you do get a stock turbo I and thousands of other people would suggest running 12psi max.

I have considered getting a slide highflow, however does this mean I will need injectors or a tune?

yes if you want to max out the turbo. no if you don't. run it at 8-10psi and you might get away with stock ecu / injectors etc. check af's by a dyno run

Because I hear that if i put a highflow on Ill get a large amount of lag?

you will have more lag than normal but not excessive. i'm sure you can find out when you ppl hit fullboost with a gcg highflow on these forums.

this is what it comes down to imo;

option 1: get another rb25 turbo and limit boost to 10-12psi. all is well $250 ~170rwkw

option 2: get a high flow, injectors, fuel pump, ecu (afm perhaps), clutch maybe and tune. $4000-$5000+ ~260rwkw

option 3: high flow, low boost, stock ecu, stock fueling, and see how long clutch lasts, $2000+ ~210rwkw???

do you have the cash?

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
