hey guys, im pretty new to the board and to owning a 2. i dont have that much done to my car and really would like to upgrade my turbo.

how big can i go ...im not really interested in max boost...but i want real good street power without too much turbo lag. what do you think the best turbo would be and how much boost i can run through the motor without having to worry?

Welcome to the board stock boost :hello:

I moved your thread into the 3SGTE (turbo engine) forum inside of the MKII sub-forum.

I think you should check out the ATS Racing CT27 turbo.
Just click the photo in my signature to get to ATS's site.

Tell them I sent you

Also, in case you haven't discovered it yet, Ricky B's power primer is highly recommended reading -- http://www.mrcontrols.com/primers/primers.htm

if you favor spool over boost get a jdm ceramic ct26. hits fast but not big power.

ct27 bit more lag but punches harder in the higher revs. feels noticeably faster.

i picked up around 35hp/torque at the wheels from upgrading to a ct27 and a greddy ic.
