Default Turbo gsr but with what turbo?

well i took my car apart early befor winter, i have a 2000 acura integra gsr. i had a drag turbo kit on it but i want something more, this car is my daily driver, so i don't want to go crazy. i was thinking maybe bigger trim turbo with my drag mani, like a t3/to4e w/ stage 5 wheel. or go all new turbo and mani, but i don't know what kind of setup i should do. just wondering what everyone thinks? what do you run on your daily driver? oh and i still have stock internals. but that might change depends on if i want to spend the money.

just bump up the boost if u want more power... drag setup is fine for a stock gsr...

it's all in the tuning (and a vafc doesnt count)

why spend more money on a new turbo. just bump the boost to like 8psi or even 10psi. just make sure you have good fuel management meaning NOT FMU!

larger injectors, fuel pump, fpr, ecu (hondata or uberdata), and different manifold.

he has a mod'd drag kit already....

i know he has rc440's, no fmu, prolly fuel pump...

this car just needs more boost and standalone and it will be putting down 300whp all day... especially bc its a strong 2000 GSR.

you do not need anything "more" than what youv got until you max out your current setup. your talking about going with a bigger turbo like its gonna do somthing more. my advice: keep your current setup, spend the money youv got on upgrading internals, good ems, and tuning. In my opinion for a daily driven integra 350-400 is ideal.
