hook your wastegate back up or get a bigger turbine housing if you want to keep the stock charger

So I should put the 90 injectors back in it, and will that 60/60/16 turbo upgrade work for me?

you could just slide the plate back and tune you afc for now ... then upgrade your turbo when you have enough cash to buy a good one

any s300 with a 62mm compressor your choice of turbine wheels and housings.

If you can fab up some peices an he351cw would be a good choice ... same chargers used on the 04.5-07 CR's. Lights fast and can easly make 400 RWHP
