black318i Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 AVO is the only one I know of, but they are more than a slight power upgrade. Also you will need tuning with any turbo swap. If you're considering a replacement I have a good VF40 for sale. PM me an offer if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black318i Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 That is for sure an good option, but would still require a tune. Also the OP is asking for aftermarket. Not exactly sure why though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preachers Sheets Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 If you upgrade your going to need a tune, you cant just slap a new different turbo on and expect the fuel/spark maps to adjust that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JrBully Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Check out force production turbos or bloush turbos these turbos work on our cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieChik Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Check out force production turbos or bloush turbos these turbos work on our cars. Actually Forced Performance (which I am assuming what you meant) and blouch do not make direct bolt ons. As a previous poster stated AVO is the only company to make them. All the other turbos require additional supporting mods FMIC, etc. OP if you are not looking for massive power gains and want to remain relatively stock I would suggest the 52. I just dyno'd mine for the heck of it to see what it put down as it currently sits and I made 260/285......and that is without a dyno tune (I have a PDX e-tune), and injectors/fuel pump. I am excited to see what kind of gains I get from those xtras when I put them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
