yeah .... unless u get all the parts dirt cheap otherwise jus upgrade the turbo to hybrid turbo ..... i would of thought if u fit a hybrid turbo and get a miltek downpipe with sport cat and turbo back box ,induction kit ,forge DV .silicone TIP , FMIC and remap u will see 260bhp+

  apparently IHI turbo is very laggy only kick in around 4500rpm ...... not worth bothering . APR stage 3+ is good i heard ,it retain stock driveability and pull like a train ....
