Can't answer that question on the Sky, but going to a bigger turbo can have a ripple effect. I used to have a Dodge SRT-4, and a lot of the folks went with a bigger turbo. Depending on the increase, they wound up getting larger injectors, fuel pump, reprogramming the ECM, larger intercooler, etc. Plus, there's a chance you'll have more turbo lag with a bigger turbo.

Yep....just curious whats out there yet. Lag isn't to big of an issue really, becuase I would make sure everything else is properly designed to reduce it. Perhaps we'll just do a V8 swap down the road.

stock turbo is a Borg Warner K04.

There's a guy over on the sol forums doing a larger turbo swap right now. Baldturbofreak is his name. I believe he's dropping a gt30r into it, but i could be wrong.

What turbo and software are you using? What mods to get the new turbo to fit?

Just the wheel??? Did you keep the same compressor housing? If you can, I would love to hear more about this.

I think he meant the compressor side. Adding a bigger turbine section wouldn't have that affect.
