Let me first start by saying thanks . This forum rocks . I have had nothing but overall success with my car becuase of the help here :thumb:

I want to upgrade to a larger turbo . I have 780cc injectors on the way and a 255lph pump also . I have the supporting mods . I would like to find a turbo that would bolt right in place of my 14b . I have a fmic and the rest of the plumbing and I like the run and dont want to change any of it . Does any one make a ball bearing bolt up? Like a 50 trim ? I dont want to be limited to a big 16g evo 3 . I want to be able to push my wheel hp to up to 400+. Once again thanks . :talon:
 
If you want something that is going to directly bolt to your FMIC piping then you are going to be limited to a turbo outlet that points up aka the 16g's.....
 
^^^ Correct, you will have to make a different end pipe for the FMIC setup when you step up to a 50-trim, or any of the FP turbos, etc. The compressor cover will generally be pointing down when you bolt it up.

I'd tell you about all the other brand turbo's, and even the larger turbo FP is coming out with, but since you're talking about upgrading your stock turbo, and dont want a 16g, I don't think that's down your alley.
 
I just bought the ported slowboy, im exited to put it on, does it loose its silver lusture and turn brown?, are tubular headers much betetr then a ported version of the slowboy?


also since it is out further then a stock manifold, will the downpipe have any problems reaching the extra length?

You should be able to clock the compressor housing and make it points up.
Here's how it looks like when clocked-up on my gvr4.

Thats exactly how I had to run my intercooler piping as well. Its a good thing the garretts are so configurable to each car.
