Question 25G turbo

I was thinking in upgrading my turbo, and the shop where im going to do it told me the best turbo to put was the 25G.
And they told me that the only parts that i need is the turbo, a fuel managment system (they recomended the AEM) and a front mount intercooler . So if anybody could comment about this i will apreciated.

25g

I have the setup to do it, i have down pipe exhaust, cold air intake, fuel cut defender and the two stage boost controler.

In the shop they told me that that i will only need the turbo and the AEM engine managment, but i wanted to get different opinions like i sayd before. I want a street setup maybe autocross sometimes but mostly street.

I'm no expert but I wouldn't install that turbo without an upipe, bigger injectors and a bigger fuel pump. Bigger injectors and a fuel pump are recommended when you run a VF34 and it's only capable of producing around 375+hp. A Greddy TD06 25G is capable of around 500+hp so I would think you a bigger fuel pump and injectors would be needed. If you don't replace the oem upipe with a catless one you might trash your brand new $2600 turbo when a piece of the cat breaks off because of the added heat the new turbo produces.

If that shop told you that only the above parts were needed to complete the big turbo upgrade then maybe you should consider going to another shop. Using the stock fuel pump and injectors could be safely tuned but you'd never see anywhere near the true potential of that turbo, either on pump gas or race gas.

If members would fill out their location field (just a general location is fine) we might be able to make a recommendation for a shop.

Also, I dont know if you may already have upgraded this, but there is no way in hell your stock tranny will be able to support that much horsepower. Maybe for awhile if you drive your car like a granny, but I highly doubt that if you playing with that much power. So think about getting a 6-spd tranny or an RA gearset and also consider building that block to be safe. Also, like the person said before me if there was no mention of upgrading your fuel system then consider a new shop to go to for advice. Just my .02 cents.
