what type of turbo do you have at the moment? just go a hi-flo T3/4 if you don't want any lag or the NOS!! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hey man, u've got Autronic's yer? if so, u shouldnt be very worried about lag... theres the anti-lag feature on it, which spools it up with the push of a button.. however it does wear out your turbo dramatically, but for a couple runs, theyre cool. T04's usually have not much lag, theyre pretty torqey, and get 2 big boost pretty quick.

I have a 700hp GT35 ball bearing turbo on my calais and it made a big improvement, its a little lagy but the top end pull is great. It makes 492hp at rear. I have a similar set up to what you have Autronic, Nizpro etc
