18g td05.


Seriously though....what's he want to spend. Supporting mods...etc.

If he just wants to do a turbo with limited upgrades as far as supporting mods and what not I'd get a VF39.

if all he cares about are power numbers and bragging rights then do a front mount with a GT35.


If you want driveability and something that won't granade the block then get an 18G TD05. A larger top mount. supporting mods and a tune.

Then start talking about C16, meth, hyra...etc.

boo!

Don't be a hater. You can get plenty of power out of the 2.0L.

I 2nd the Full Race kit they make some of the nicest parts I have ever seen on a car.
