Someone put forged pistons in it? Brand? Well, a ver8 you have a twin scroll set up. Idk the options you have with swapping for a single scroll. If power isnt sometibg yoir looking for right now just pick up a VF34, 43, 39

youre gonna want a bigger injector size with a 3071/3076 turbo but thats looking at 400 club.
If you want normal daily turbo, my friend seems to like his Blouch 20XTR 330whp reliable on a stock legacy block. There's plenty of options with a motor like that. Just figure out if you want quick spool or top end and then work your way from there.
Personally on a 2.0 daily, I'd look at an 18g.
Swap exhaust manifolds too. If you're on twin scroll still you're limited on set ups. Although the 37 is a nice turbo.

I have a tomei m7760 on my hybrid setup (so not exactly the same) but I've loved it so far. Due to non-turbo related mechanical issues/limitations when I got tuned, I'm sitting at about 300awhp, but I have a ton of room to push further.
Only issue is I feel it spools just a tad late for a daily driver, and that's with the 2.5 shortblock. However, I used to run a VF-35 on my 2.0L, so that's what I'm comparing it to. Also, my mechanic said it might be a pita to rebuild if it ever needs to be.

I have a Full Race EFR 6758 kit sitting in my shed. ver8 motor being delivered in a couple weeks and if I stick to schedule, it'll be going in the car around New Year's... so I've made my choice =).
Good luck with your choice.
