just get a bigger wheel put into the greddy you already have .

search BNR

None of that other stuff is necessary unless you raise the boost - which you don't need to do .

Care to send me a link?
Link to where to buy one and if your feeling generous a link to someone who put it in.

thanks

Thanks for the link but im not sure i want to spend $1200 at this time. Does anyone know where i can buy the original turbo? Fyi mine lasted about 30k miles does that seem short or is the turbo just a piece?

Thanks

no, I'm saying that's good. I hope you get a replacement snail. Happy boosting. Just waiting Team to come in here and say renesis and boost don't mix....

I have a brand spankin' new "spare" shipped from Japan, built just for me with love by Trust.

Takes about 8 weeks to be delivered. I "special" ordered mine from Vivid Racing. Expect to pay just shy of $2,000

a Greddy turbo is more like a soft nudge rather than a boost ...
