    That's a good turbo... but until you have upgraded your fuel system, I wouldn't mess with it... I have a 14b on mine, and I'm happy with the power it puts out (broke my transmission a couple weeks ago, changing that out today if my buddy ever gets his ass over here to help). Fuel is where the power comes from, a bigger turbo just lets you put more fuel in (by cramming enough air to burn more fuel... but big turbos without fuel end up with burned pistons, broke rods, and holes in blocks)

    As you can see from my mods, my fuel system has been updated to handle a larger turbo (much bigger than what I'm running)... but it's cheaper to do incremental fuel upgrades, which don't hurt the car than it is to upgrade the turbo and blow up your motor.
    Mods:

    Walboro 255/PTE 680cc injectors
    FMIC/14b turbo
    3" GM MAF with translator
    Stainless brake and clutch lines
    eibach springs, 2" drop, camber kit

    that is true, thats why the first thing i am going to do is rebuild my engine. the engine already has 243k on it and when it is on process thats when i will buy my 650cc injectors. I already have the walboro255 with rewire kit.
