or maybe you could post in the other thread that you already have open about mods for your GSR instead of wasting bandwidth.

the TD05 off an EVO is a good choice. It's ball bearing, and you can bolt it straight on. don't worry about the wastegate, you wont have to change it. first mod you need is an exhaust - let the car breathe a lot better. Although you wont find much difference in performance, you will in economy. But you certainly need an exhaust, especially if you go upping the boost.

u won't find much preformance in an exhuast ? With the raised boost level and a good exhuast u will pick up a decent amount of power

an exhaust with more boost, yes of course you'll find a difference. but just an exhaust with stock boost, you wont find much difference at all.
