...good for over 300 hp. My Aero had software from MapTun and with a larger intercooler, 3" downpipe, and larger injectors produced well over 300 hp. I would highly recommend you take care of the fueling, exhaust, and IC before going to a larger turbo. In Sweden, it's not uncommon to find people using larger compressors with the TD04 turbine - a 16, 18, or even 19T's. However, a much better choice is the Garrett ball bearinged R series, something like a GT2871R with the .64 A/R wheel. The TD04-18T's are very popular in Sweden because they are so available, but in my opinion, the 6 cm^2 turbine is not the ideal for that size compressor, especially if you're concerned with keeping the quick spool-up the 15T gives. The GT2871R wouldn't have that issue and there's some suppliers, here in the 'States, that give pretty good deals (see link below). It'll bolt right to your manifold, but you may need change the coolant and oil lines to braided stainless, and possibly some waste-gate actuator movement. I'd just like to add that I'm not affiliated with any tuning company, whatsoever, and am not trying to sell you anything, but am just giving you the benefit of independent research that I've done on this matter.
