I need a big turbo.. HELP

hey guys, i was wondering what you guys think of XS-engineering turbo kits. I was looking at the 500hp kit they got, the one with the garrett GT3037-48t . They claim its the biggest turbo u can run on a stock to lightly modified wrx engine. Do you think its safe? I dont want to blow my motor or spend thousands on a stroker kit, But i want to acheive around 330whp. Do you think this is possible or im better off going with an SR40 or GT25. Something in that neighborhood??????


Thanks guys for any info,

AnthonyXSengineering site if anyone wants to take a look at what the kit consists of

XS recommends their 800cc injectors and a 255lph in-tank fuel pump. Engine mgmt is a must. Im currently using the UTEC.

Anybody got any suggestions or info

If I knew how to tune it properly i would love it much more. So i guess with a bit more practice it will grow on me even more. For now my mechanic tunes it for me and ive had no problems thus far.
