At this time, there is only one bolt-on solution.
Loooong wait times, however.

Would it be possible for me to pay you extra $$$ to have faster delivery of your kit?

It's not the kit that needs a bigger turbo, but what your car and hp/tq range need to aquire that goal.

I can put a T88 in to treplace the Mitsu Td06-18g (greddy turbo) because it's bigger. however it will be pointless. it's naot matched to he flow characteristics of the Renesis..

You will want to stay with Garrett 3071R.

No. Not really. Its not a motivation thing, its pure physics.

Did you use the right format? (Did you follow the directions sent to you and posted in the "AccessPORT Discussion" thread on the first page?)

im still a newb with my car in general but i kinda get what the TW is sayin. and yes it is similar to MMs upgrade but there are factory turbos and aftermarket ones that could provide the same performance or even better, just you have to do alot of research on what size turbine and look at its dynos and what applications its mostly used with.

But those are just my thoughts like i said im not an expert im still learning.

Hmm.. are you sure?

Throw money at any problem and it can usually be solved.

Lol. Its would have to be a LOT of money - enough to pay someone else to do it.
Last I checked, it was a $1k job.
I do it for about $180.
So, you do the math.

I would pay $2800 for your kit if you could get it to me quickly.
