My goal is to have 350-400 awhp. The turbo I plan to upgrade to do this is the T04B V-trim. Can this turbo do this? What else would I need? I know new injectors, and fuel pump, but what size? What size exhaust should I run? Frount mount intercooler, would an 8" one be good? I'm just kind of curious what all I should start to save up for, since the summer is drawing nearer and I just started getting more hours at my crappy job, where I only make $5.75 as an assistant manager :notgood: but...any help, tips. anything would be apreciated. Thanks. :dsm:

5.75 as an assistant manager? good lord... i'd hate to think of what the lower employees make.. :notgood:
 
seriously

wrong turbo bud. take it easy. at 5.75 an hour you'll be 28 by the time to finish most of the necessary mods. follow the upgrade path, and post back in about 6 months when you get to the point where you even need to upgrade your turbo.
 
Yea I know. I'm only 17. It's an easy job. Local movie theater, and I dont really want to work fast food. It took me like 6 months to save up for my car to pay cash. But that is one this I am good for. Once I set my mind on something, I save until I get it. No matter if I make $1 a month or whatever. If I want it, I usually have the determination to get it. Is the V-trim a bad turbo? Whats wrong with it?
 
whoa, 5.75 an hour as assistant manager? minimum wage here in NY is 6.xx .

anyways, follow the 2g upgrade guide here. I think for 350awhp your going to want to look into internals[ not saying you can't hit this point, but with alot of power, more problems can arise. I'm just being on the safe side ] so maybe keep it around the 300awhp which would easily be attainable with a big16G on pump gas. It also has a fairly quick spool, and good potential with good tuning on pump and race gas.
