I'm looking for a new turbo but I feel like an idoit when people start talking to me about them. I was hopping some one could give a shack down on what to look for when buying a new turbo.

Can you provide some details on your current setup, any mods you may have, etc.

what are you planning on doing with the car? its pretty much pointless to throw a replacement VF11 on there if you are looking for more power in the future. Im just gonna throw a TD04 on there for now then go bigger later on.

dont put another vf-11 on, I learned the hard way that (15 yr old) used turbos are crap...I must have swapped mine 7 times....cuz I dont want my daily driver all pumped up, and am sick of modding EVERYTHING>>>>........the seals go out right away after u break the seals away from the car. I swear they should have a way to store turbos so they can hold oil the whole time, keeping the seals fresh. tdo4 all the way, but you will need some special boots for the intake....

Tdo4 will get you up to 250hp. I just clocked mine so you can fit it on with only a silicone boost tube, look at my pics..
