Who knows a place where you can get this done? I've google'd it like a 1000 times. I get BTF, but I can't find their site. And Auto PerformanceWerks. Anyone else do it? Lemme know. Thanks
BaldTurboFreak went into industrial machine work in the tough economy, I read that he couldn't make any $$$ in the custom turbo business. Bad economy = survival mode for many of us.
Have you seen this thread:

you can squeeze some power out of a + with tuning. But really...ONLY if you want to stay on a stock turbo. If you want power, you will want to go big turbo...theres no denying that, the + does cost a pretty penny for what it is.
nobody has dynoed yet. however they *think* that the stage 2 is good for somewhere around 370-400 whp. and the stage 1 is good for about 340-370. i think some more can be pulled out of that tho since theres stock turbo guys on 340whp with meth.
well stock turbo running near 340whp is pushing efficiency. So a upgraded + turbo can just do that power more easily. I think its a good idea and very worthwhile if someone wants to stay stock turbo and stock turbo look. You just need to tune and pay a little more for the +

I'm debating as well if I want to go with a bigger turbo or the BNR upgrade. My goal is 400whp, I still want the car to be reliable and sensible so that's all I need. I like how easy the BNR upgrade is, but I also like the idea of looking behind the valve cover and seeing a big hunk of meat back there!! So here I am in a dilemma! lol
