Yeah I noticed that turbo... Keen but yeah all the other supporting mods they start adding up quick... it's really amazing how much I've spent so far...

Its worth it though ;) Or thats what I keep telling myself!
 
Another thing to consider is the ct27 package from ATS. You get an upgraded turbo as well as a Rom tune so you have the benefits of a tune but get to keep your stock ECU. The ct27 performs as well as ct20b and you get a freshly built turbo instead of a used ct20b with a ceramic turbine of questionable reliability.

Yeah I've been looking at them as well... haha yes that's what I tell myself when I hit the purchase button. trying not to think about the total... got my lenso d1r wheels and plan on buying tyres as well so that's more money lol

I personally wouldnt go a rebuilt hiflowed ct26 version. Its too limiting. Theres a high chance youll want more.

I'd go with an ecu upgrade first. Your old std ecu is hardly optimal and its only guessing if your running more than 12psi. If it knew you were running more, it'd engage safe mode.

The good thing with that turbo kit, is the tial ss housings have the same fitting pattern, so you could easily fit a gt30 series turbo with tial housing and it'll all bolt/vband straight up.
