A HKS GT2535 or 2540 the best way to go, some 550's or 740's etc. Z32 afm. That should see you with decent reliable power

Yeah as JH said around 400 up. Money wise your best option is just getting a nistune board

I would recommend this turbo

GT3071R 700382-5020S €1031.75 it comes without an actuator for that price. It will do up to 450 flywheel bhp on a std RB25DET

Its on special offer now

Lad i wouldn't bother with an aftermarket intake manifold. Its not really needed. Get your turbo, injectors, afm, fuel pump, adj. fpr, front mount, and turbo back exhaust, nistune board and mapped.

Thats all that's needed really for good reliable powers

i thought that much tbh,better to ask the question,iv the turbo back exhaust already and fmic and pump,just the expensive stuff now:rolleyes:

Universal Turbos in England do hybrids of the original. Rated to 400+hp. £750. Just send them an old Rb25 turbo and they build it to their spec. Direct fit. No messing about. I used loads of them.

They are good turbos I have mapped load of them but they are not responsive like the GT3071R 700382-5020S I recommend.

Very little difference in the price for a much more modern turbo charger.

I agree. The 3071 is a much better turbo but the hybrid is nice and handy.:D
