I don't think it is worth it. There are a lot of mixed reviews about Godspeed turbos on this site. Some people they last others die right of the bat or a few thousand down the road. Your better off buying a used 16g turbo.

That said to run those hp numbers you would need supporting fuel mods (Wally 255, injectors, afpr) you would also need a way to tune the car and a fmic to get the most out of that turbo. Also a new exhaust mani to fit the turbo and a down pipe.

This info is all in the vfaq under upgrade path.

are forged internals necessary?

+1 on the Vfaq upgrade path depending on what your goal is.

Tech Guide: 2G 4G63t Upgrades - DSMtuners

Also as stated at the beginning of the upgrade path post: make sure all maintenance has been performed before upgrading.

A big long list... Basic supporting mods. Injectors, fuel pump, fuel regulator, something to tune with, fmic, a twin scroll t4 manifold, exhaust, clutch, etc. That's a mighty large turbo to go to from a t25. Make sure to do some research on the company before you'd even consider buying that turbo though. Some have had great luck with ebay turbos... Many others have had terrible experiences with them though. I'd look around and find out which ones people have had luck with and go from there.

Our internals stock are pretty stout. I wouldn't say they would be needed, but its a great idea. Some people have ran low 10's on a stock bottom end, others have managed to blow them up running 13's. Just make sure you have a good tuner.

You'll need the, "i need a new motor mod."

Id stay away from that turbo, go with something tried and true, 20G would be great, or something like a GT28RS
