actually been thinking about it.. not sure exactly what i would want though, i dont want the engine to fail so something conservative, also have been thinking about meth too.. i was looking into EWG for the stock turbo too along with meth and was thinking that might be pretty good for a lil while.. But ultimately i want something like the GT52...

There have been so many people with big turbo setups and engine hasn't borked on them, so I don't see why you should be worried about that, unless you hate your car and you don't change your oil, check it, nor in away way care for the car, then yes I'd be worried about bigger turbo. I've been on GT35R for over 6months now and no issues, good compression and steady 23+PSI and full boost at 4200RPM.

GT52 makes it a good alternative, I considered that snail at first, but I just couldn't deal with the inlet pipe being where its at, so I decided to go rotated and would never look back... just my 2 cents.. ;]

well its just that i have been reading a lot and want something reliable that i never have to worry about. I never beat on my car and change my oil religously and always make sure everything is good. Im just wondering on what i really need. I was just thinking the GT52 because of the relatively good boost curve i could get with all the supporting mods, along with meth... I also havent really looked too deeply into because im doing other things right now but its something i need more knowledge on...

not a prob. i am in the process of priming them right now. taking them apart was alot easier than i thought, and taking them out of the car was easier than i thought too.. we will see i guess.. almost done, just have to let the primer dry and then paint them and put them back together..
