The best gain IMO - swapping to a better turbo. Its without a doubt the sore point of your setup.

You can increase displacement and all the rest, but the best gains are simply in one single item.

A GT35 will be more responsive and make more power than what you have on there now IMO.

yea i was thinking that or getting one of those kits that put t04z internals into my turbo but that will be later on i reckon

i also forgot to mention atm it hit full boost about 5k rpm so hoping that will improve a bit

and im running oil drain from the back of the head to the sump as well as oil ristrictors

See a GT35 on your current motor would drop a good 500rpm just from the turbo

Add in a 3ltr and you'll be looking at 1000rpm perhaps more.

IMO it's the best turbo choice for your setup as you are limited by other parts like injectors, ECU etc.

And really - you need a proper ECU to control your setup.

T04Z is too big for your current part list, a GT35 is only JUST going to squeeze in.

If you want 400-440rwkw+ (T04Z), then you need bigger injectors, 4" exhaust etc. Basically another 3-4k is required.

And then budget for a gearbox with that kinda power, as realistically they don't hold that power forever - so 5-7k.

I still think the GT35 is the best choice mate, and it's more-so affordable in terms of not stressing "too" much more than needs to be. 360-380rwkw through a stock box should be OK. But going much more and you really are starting to strech the relationship a bit.

yea i will just wait and see how this turbo i have atm goes with the setup i was only going to go a t04z because u can get those CHIRA things for $1000 and they fit into the to4r housing

what are 660cc injectors good for does anyone know?

yea im buying a new exhaust atm gonna get a 3.5" i reckon

and yea my gearbox is already in need of a rebuild whines its head off and grindes from 3-4 at high rpm

3.5 isn't enough for a 04x, needs 4' due to 400rwkw+

a core is cheap, but you could sell the 04r, and it'll workout the same ;)

i may aswell look into 4" then haha where the best place to buy them from dont see 4" very often

yea i guess so ill sort that all out after i finish the build and have saved some more money :)
