what other mods have you got?

No point going to a big turbo etc if you don't have the fuel to match it.

If you don't have a high capacity fuel system look at getting something along the lines of a GT3071R-56T T3. Around $1800 for a new one depending where you buy but that should bolt up okay.

If you're after a cheaper option look for high flowed skyline turbos second hand.

If you do have a decent fuel system and are looking at going for serious power then maybe a GT3582R.

Hi bud.
Mtq in brisbane is great, they will ask you a ton of questions and spend the time with you to find the right turbo, Their prices are also very reasonable and they freight.

cheers mark.

Sorry I should have given a more accurate description of my set-up.
as it stands I have 2x B2 converters and and a GRA throttle body (twin lines from tanks), its intercooled and set up with lcoked timming, petronix ignitor and an ice ignitionmodule and coil.
Currently running a T3 flange chinese turbo with 3inch inlet and 3inch V-band and a 2inch outlet on the compressor.
Power is not the problem I'm having. Its overboosting and is also slow to spool. it hasnt been tuned with 2 converters yet.
I would like to stay internal wastegate if possible to prevent mods to my exhaust manifold.
I'd like something to bolt in place with no mods if possible
