i have heard of several people upgradeing there existing turbo, betting bigger fan blades and such...any place in the GTA that does it or anyone in the GTA have a Turbo that they want to sell to me ?

most guys that end up upgrading the stock ct-26 realize down the road that its still not enough...u have to set a goal (h/p wise) before u make the decision on what turbo to get....
most popular turbos would be greddy td-06 or hks gt-30....
why do u want to replace ur turbo???..are u burning alot of oil??..any white smoke on start up??...how many clicks r on the motor??...

it may sound a bit weird ....but you could put a super charger ....that would be nice no ?

You can put a supercharger on a 91 Turbo? has anyone ever successfully done this? what were the results ? Would it be possible to upgrade the Turbo as well as put a SC on it? that would get rid of the Turbo lag no ?

One of the hot things right now is to try the CT20B turbo. Otherwise, you can try an upgraded CT26 with a 46-trim wheel and a 12-degree clip on the turbine. I would recommend going with a TD06 or GT25 though. They cost more, but they will make more power as well.

cost more? Like how much more...what am I talking out the door with everything necessary to run that turbo safely without blowing the engine ?

The Greddy TD06SH will run you $1600US for the kit, and the Garrett GT25 kit will run you $2100US. I would suggest doing your computer at the same time. When you're tuning the computer, you can monitor your A/F ratio to see how your injectors are doing. If you're running at maximum, you may need to upgrade your injectors and/or fuel pump.
